Hops are a wonderful perennial plant to grow and use for multiple medicinal purposes. Not only do hops grow up and create a wonderful shade for our sunny balcony in the summer, but the plants die back all the way to the root each year. So they provide the shade we want in the summer, but allow the sun to shine in during the winter.
But hops are great for more than just shade! Most of us know hops for their flavor in beer. But hops can be used for so many medicinal purposes!
What we love hops for most is to make an evening herbal tea to help with sleep and reduce anxiety. For the full recipe, visit the blog post here: homesteadingfamily.com/hop-te...

That yellow stuff isn’t pollen! It’s resin :) full of Lupulin and essential oils Those cones are the female plants so they don’t contain pollen

One plant that I really like to improve the flavor of my tea is Lemon Verbena. It also has calming properties so it's good for people with anxiety.

For commenters looking to grow hops but don't know where to buy or what kind to get, start asking questions at beer crafting supply vendors; homebrew & artisanal beers are gaining popularity & as a result hops breeders & specialty supply shops are popping up everywhere. My local shop has a huge chalkboard listing several varieties of hops I never heard of before bred for specific flavor characteristics ranging from resinous, pungent, spicy, to fruity or floral. Some descriptions were: black pepper, grapefruit, melon, guava, grassy, piney, pineapple, earthy, blueberry, dill, elderberry, tangerine, all kinds of crazy... Breeders really are getting as creative with hops as they are it's closest relative 😉 Please note that some breeds may be less aromatic or bitter than others, which aroma & bitterness is where hops' medicinal value comes from

Carolyn released a video with Doc Jones a few months ago on her herb garden and she mentioned this! They have hemp strings attached to hooks against the house, and come time for fall, they simply cut the hemp strings down and compost the entire thing! Hope that helps! Doc Jones says he grows his in an arch with cattle fencing!

@bhobbs2584 Год назад

Great video. I love that there are medicinal properties in hops. This fall, I will harvest mine. Last fall, we got busy with elk hunting (7B) and didn't bother harvesting them. I noticed yesterday that there is still pollen in them. Do you think there is much of any properties left for a cup of tea?

@Satya2btrue Год назад

It’s excellent in hormonal hot flushes. As a phytoestrogens it doesn’t act to increase oestrogen. What phytoestrogens do is attach to the receptor sites, so it will mimic an oestrogen . If your oestrogen is too low it will act as if it’s increased it. If too high it prevents oestrogen attachment to receptor. So amphoteric.

Hey I have a question! So I've had hops on my 'to-grow' list for years. We bought our property about a year ago and my best friend (who introduced me to your videos!) told me she thinks I have a hops vine. It's highly prolific, covers a stand of about a half dozen trees that are easily 30-40 feet tall or more. How do I know for sure it's hops?

@Skitdora2010 10 месяцев назад

Look for the cones in later summer to fall. There is a hop hornbeam tree that makes what looks like hops but grow seeds in the husks and have no scent, it is a tree. Hops vines are sticky and uncomfortable to touch, it clings and climbs that way, and they smell strongly in a very heady way when ripening. Hops die to the ground in winter. There are wild hop plants. Good luck using it. I grow named cultivars and most I feed to the poultry as an alleged antibiotic in the spring and fall when migrating birds pass through. You only need a tiny bit for beer as most beer is made with barely and hops just a flavoring additive. And there is only so much hop tea you can drink- I grow the "tea makers" hops too which was bred with little to no bitterness. The vines in my area covering trees are all wild grape and they can kill the trees. The invasive Kudzu can cover trees and kill them too.

Oye... I am slightly irritated. My extension office said to harvest them when they turn brown. So I've been waiting. Yet I see lots of the green hops being harvested. So I watch this video, and sure enough.... I took the wrong advice. I hope I still have some usable hops out there, as I was growing them for a sleep aid recipie.
