Use in Skin Care and Remedies

Restless and in a rush, the hop climbs to giddy heights before stopping to form flowers and fruits which hang down heavily on compressed stalks and form a stark contrast to the plant's upward growth. These flowers are very inconspicuous. On the other hand, the hop produces something flower-like in the lupulin, with its resin and essential oils, which aromatically envelops the female flowers. It might be said that the hop has concentrated the power of its flowering. Excessive growth is followed by consolidation and internalisation. This image could reflect the nervous individual who cannot find repose and only falls into a dreamless sleep at the moment of deepest exhaustion.
