A "hop" is a green cone around the female flower of the hop plant. Inside the hops are golden grains that form a sticky greenish yellow to yellow powder. Hops have been used for centuries to flavor beer, at least as far back as 10,000 years ago in Asia, where it spread rapidly to Eastern Europe. There is also evidence that they have been used even longer to aid sleep and to reduce libido.
Hops (Humulus lupulus) Flowers are popularly used in dream and sleep pillows and many other cosmetic formulations. Hops are said to have anti-inflammatory and mild firming action when used topically.
