An important plant not only for beer production, but also in medicinal medicine
The sleep-promoting properties of this climbing plant have been known since the early Middle Ages. That's why hops were already used in hop pillows at that time, especially in the royal families. This not only applies to adults who could not find rest, but also to babies and small children who had trouble falling asleep.
The female inflorescences of the hop plant (hop cones) are harvested. These hop cones contain the plant's medicinal active ingredients. The ingredients include essential oil, bitter substances, flavonoids and tannins.
The hop flowers have a mild sedating effect and, in addition to their calming properties, also have an antispasmodic quality. They relax and gently calm the agitated mind. Above all, this plant is said to have healing powers for anxiety, restlessness and nervous exhaustion.
If you or your child have trouble falling asleep or if your baby simply cannot fall asleep, constantly whines, screams and cries in the evening before falling asleep or sleeps restlessly, then just try an herbal pillow filled with hop blossoms.
You will then very quickly experience the relaxing, calming and sleep-inducing properties of the hop flowers and will increasingly regain your trust in the healing power of nature.
