This book is the first to give an overview of the remarkable potential of hops as a medicinal plant. It covers more than 1000 years of medicinal applications of hops, with a focus on those that are still of interest. Current research results about the effectiveness of various hop components are clearly explained. Chapters about hops in beer, growing and processing of hop plants, together with an extensive bibliography containing references to other publications, round off this book.
