Hops

Hops are the dried, flowering part of the hop plant. They are commonly used in brewing beer and as a flavoring ingredient in food. Hops are also used for medicine.

Hops are commonly used orally for anxiety, sleep disorders such as inability to sleep (insomnia) or disturbed sleep due to shift or night work (shift work disorder), restlessness, tension, agitation, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -Y), nervousness, irritability and menopausal symptoms among other uses.

The chemicals in hops appear to have weak effects similar to the hormone estrogen. Certain chemicals in hops also seem to reduce swelling, prevent infections, and induce drowsiness.
