Hops Tincture (Humulus Lupulus) – Nervous System Disorders – Monastic Recipe

Description

Ιδιότητες:

The Hops Tincture (Humulus Lupulus) contains the same active ingredients as the dried hops herb. In modern herbal medicine, hops are mainly used by specialists to treat disorders of the nervous and digestive systems (including anorexia). Research conducted in recent years suggests that the consumption of hops affects the central nervous system—not merely as a muscle relaxant (although it has this property as well), as initially suggested by some researchers. As a result, hops are considered effective in combating anxiety, tension, nervousness, depression, and insomnia. Essentially, hops are believed to have strong sedative and hypnotic properties. Although the presence of valeric acid in the flowers was initially thought to be responsible for these effects, the recent discovery of the compound 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol has changed this understanding. This substance is very similar to the well-known hypnotic methylpentynol and, in clinical studies, has been shown to produce the same exact results.

As for the effect of hops in treating stomach disorders, it is mainly attributed to its antispasmodic action. In experiments conducted on animals (guinea pig duodenum and rat uterus), the antispasmodic action of hops seems to counteract that of atropine. This is a muscle-relaxing effect, which explains its effectiveness in relieving intestinal spasms (such as in irritable bowel syndrome, gastric neurosis, and Crohn’s disease). Additionally, hops are particularly rich in bitter compounds (5-30%). Two of these compounds (humulone and lupulone) are believed to stimulate appetite, thus helping to address (to some extent) the condition of anorexia.

Hops is one of the most important herbs and has several other very interesting properties. Hops also have antibiotic properties, as some of the substances it contains (isohumulone and humulinic acid) promote the fight against bacteria in the human body.
