Hop Flowers

Relaxation • Sleep Support • Nervous System Balance

Often celebrated for their role in brewing, hop flowers (Humulus lupulus) are a time-honored herbal remedy deeply rooted in natural healing traditions. Beyond their signature aroma, these vibrant green blossoms offer a calming botanical experience that promotes restful sleep, eases anxiety, and gently supports hormonal harmony.

At Manifest Nutrition, our organic dried hop flowers are hand-harvested and carefully dried to preserve their therapeutic resins and essential oils. Their bitter, earthy floral profile makes them ideal for calming teas, herbal infusions, and natural remedies that help the body and mind restore balance—especially during periods of stress or insomnia

• Bath Soaks: Add to muslin bags or directly to warm water for a calming soak.

• Pillow Sachets: Fill small cotton bags and place under your pillow to promote better sleep.

Nutritional & Functional Benefits 
Hop flowers offer an impressive range of phytonutrients and plant-based compounds that support whole-body wellness

• Lupulin resin: Contains natural sedative compounds that calm the nervous system

• Xanthohumol (flavonoid): A powerful antioxidant shown to support brain health and reduce inflammation

• Humulene & Myrcene (essential oils): Provide anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic effects

• Phytoestrogens: Naturally mimic estrogen and may support hormonal balance, especially during menopause

• Bitter acids (humulone and lupulone): Stimulate digestion and help support liver function

• Vitamin C & B-vitamins: Trace amounts help support immune and nervous system health

• Antioxidants: Protect against oxidative stress, support skin clarity, and promote cellular repair

These compounds work together to relieve restlessness, reduce cortisol, ease muscle tension, and restore a grounded sense of peace without synthetic sedatives.

Rooted in Herbal Tradition

Used by monks, midwives, and herbalists for centuries, hop flowers were traditionally prescribed to ease anxiety, settle indigestion, and balance the nervous system. Historically steeped into calming elixirs or sewn into pillows, hops were believed to protect the heart and calm the mind.

Today, they remain a trusted botanical in herbal sleep formulas, digestive bitters, and women’s wellness blends—offering gentle, effective relief from the demands of modern life.
