Hop strobiles Tincture

Humulus lupulus

Hops is a bitter, calming herb, well known for aiding sleep. It may be used in tension headaches, anxiety, irritability and IBS. Hops contains oestrogenic substances which may help some menopausal symptoms. It combines well with Valerian and Passionflower as a sleep and anxiety remedy.

Traditionally avoided if there is depression, although this connection is not proven. May increase the effects of sleeping tablets and tranquillisers. May increase the effects of HRT and other synthetic hormones so seek advice if taking HRT or the contraceptive pill.
