Hops is not just an essential ingredient in beer, but a natural sedative that has been used for its calming, sleep-promoting, and digestive properties. In Europe, the herb has been used for centuries to promote sleep, ease anxiety, and alleviate digestive ailments since at least the Middle Ages. Monastery records from the 9th century mention the use of hops for medicinal purposes. Studies suggest hops may have anxiety-reducing effects. These effects might be attributed to certain compounds in hops, such as alpha-acids and prenylflavonoids, which may influence the activity of neurotransmitters involved in relaxation.

The herb is a mild sedative, making it ideal for those struggling to fall asleep. Due to its gentle actions, it's a popular ingredient in general herbal sleep formulas and is often used in children's remedies.
