What is Ladrôme Extraits de Houblon Bio mother tincture used for?
Hops (Humulus lupulus) belong to the Cannabaceae or Moraceae family, represented by two families: Cannabis and Humulus. Hops are herbaceous climbers native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia and North Africa. They thrive in damp, shady soils, and need a support around which they can wrap themselves. It is known as northern vine, devil's wood, northern couleuvia or national sarsaparilla. Male and female flowers do not grow on the same stems. Females take the form of small châtons which, as they mature, take on the shape of oval cones covered with brown scales concealing yellow, granular glands. These contain the plant's active ingredients, including bitter.
In herbal medicine, hops are used to relieve nervousness and sleep disorders, to stimulate appetite and to combat symptoms associated with hormonal changes in menopause.
In North America, the Cherokee Indians use hops to relieve arthritis and pain, and to treat kidney-related problems. Traditional Chinese medicine also credits it with treating insomnia, digestive problems, intestinal cramps and lack of appetite. In India, Ayurvedic medicine uses hops to relieve agitation caused by nervous tension, migraine and indigestion.
Hops have long been used in the kitchen to make bread and, above all, to brew beer. It was this latter use that led to its cultivation spreading throughout Europe. In fact, the idea that the plant might contain a sedative ingredient came to light when it was noted that workers harvesting strobiles tended to fall asleep easily on the job.
