Description
Hops is a remedy that has a marked relaxing effect upon the central nervous system. It is used extensively for the treatment of insomnia.
It will ease tension and anxiety, and may be used where the tension leads to restlessness, headache and possibly indigestion.
As an astringent with these relaxing properties, it can be used in conditions such as mucus colitis.
Hops should, however, be avoided where there is a marked degree of depression as this may be accentuated.
Externally the antiseptic action is utilised for the treatment of ulcers.
