 Hops
Hops are a beautiful vine that grows very easily. I have seen it growing on many a fence or archway. This plant is legendary and I think you know why! Beer! Being the main calming addition to beer, it is easy to see why as it is a member of the Cannabaceae family. Her sister is Cannabis. Hops' Latin name is Humulus lupulus. This plant is calming and soothing with a history of calming anxiety, tension or stress. Hops is not only just sedating, it is also helpful in digestion. It is a classic bitter with liver cleansing properties. It is also a galactagouge, meaning that it stimulates breast milk.
