Hops flower oil.....The hops plant is a climbing, herbaceous perennial. It is usually trained to climb up strings when it is raised commercially. These fields are called hopfields, hop yards, or hop gardens. The hop flower is the female flower clusters. They are commonly called seed cones or strobiles. They are primarily used to flavor and stabilize beer, and also used in herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and to flavor other beverages.The first documentation of hops cultivation was in 736 in what is now present day Germany. It wasn’t until 1079 that mention is made of growing hops for beer making in Germany. Hops cultivation began in the US in 1629. The herb has been used as a mild sedative, well known in the form of the hop pillow where the heavy aromatic odor has been shown to relax by direct action at the olfactory centers.
