Hops
 | Sleep, Divination, Healing |
   
| Hops are often sewn into "dream pillows" or a sachet of the herb
may be placed in your pillowcase to help induce sleep and bring prophetic
dreams. |
| A moderate infusion of Hops may safely be taken as needed to help bring on
sleep and dreams (2 tsp. Hops to 1 cup of water, steep 10-15 minutes.) Only
fresh Hops (those dried less than 1 year) work effectively to induce sleep.
Be cautioned, however: Hops are a natural diuretic and your sleep may become
interrupted with the need to urinate if you have had too much to drink
before bed, so if you will be taking Hops, limit your other beverages for
several hours before retiring. |
| Sachets of Hops are carried for healing and added to healing type
potpourris and infusions meant to be sprinkled around the sick room. |
