The hops plant, Humulus Lupulus, belongs to the Cannabaceae family (the same genus as Cannabis sativa/indica, or marijuana). Used by some people as a sedative-hypnotic, hops are most familiar as a beer ingredient, where they add a bitter taste and act as a preservative. Effects: Hops are traditionally used for relaxation, sedation and to treat insomnia, depressions and menopause symptoms. . They promote appetite and sleep and reduce anxiety. Recently research has looked at anti-cancer and anti-viral effects. Similar weed like experience was reported when smoking hops. Dosage: Hops come in herbal tea preparations. Dried hops can be smoked too. No specific dose is recommended because hops commonly are used in combination with Valeriana as a tea to aid sleep. For more information, see the hops infomration page.
