Many clinical studies show that the common hop, especially when associated with valerian, is one of the most powerful
and non-toxic solution when it comes about ways to make you sleep better. A very ample and thorough study on patients in Germany (the country with the oldest tradition in studying and using hop) compared the effects of a synthetic drug frequently used against insomnia (benzodiazepine) with the combination of valerian and hop on two groups of patients.
The study results were more than encouraging: the hop and valerian combination has comparable effects, if not stronger, than benzodiazepine, but the natural product has 80-90% less secondary effects than the synthetic drug. It should be administered combined in equal proportions: hop alcoholic extract and valerian root. It is a good remedy for you, who desperately seek for ways to make you sleep.
The common hop is a wild plant that grows in bushes. It is cultivated mostly for the beer industry, but we can us it for better ways – to make you sleep, for example.
During the centuries, the common hop was used to treat: liver diseases, soothing pains, bladder diseases. It was also recommended for treating insomnia, stomach aching and anxiety or lack of appetite.
