Description
Hop cones or the bells of humulus lupulus and many of us immediately think of a nice, refreshing beer. But Hops have other interesting properties: Hops are mainly used in phytotherapy for a better night's sleep and for mental pressure and exertion.
Where we can, we get our herbs from local growers (brewery The Picker from Poperinge).

Just pay attention
Do not use Hop bubbles for clinical depression, as this can be strengthened by Hop. Furthermore, Hop slightly reduces the man's libido. It very occasionally happens that male hop pickers develop breast development (gynecomastia) under the influence of the phytoestrogens present. Some people develop a contact allergy when they come into contact with the plant.
Nice product and pleasant packaging (yes, that does exist), but I don't notice much of the claimed effects (for now?).
