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: [ Ссылка ]
