Listen in as herbalist and author Rosalee de la Forêt talks all about the hops (Humulus lupulus)! Before trendy bars started highlighting their hoppy brews, the hop plant was used as a traditional herbal medicine. With their aromatic and pungent scent, hops strobiles have been prized for their ability to help people relax. This use dates back thousands of years, at least since the ninth century.
