Artisan Distillation of Flower Tops
The botanical name of the Hops Oil is Humulus lupulus and extracted from the cones flowers by the process of Artisan Steam Distillation method.
The other names of Hops oil are Common Hop and Beer Hops. Hops flowers are a cousin of Cannabis Hemp Flowers which is obvious from the aroma of the hops flowerA few of the primary aroma compounds in hops are myrcene, beta-pinene and alpha-humulene.
These and other aromatic compounds are also what give cannabis plants their characteristic smell. The similarities aren’t strictly related to aroma qualities either. The primary alpha-acid responsible for producing the bittering action in hops is humulone, which is a terpenoid. A similar terpenoid is also the primary active ingredient in cannabis Hemp.
Its spicy sweet and herbal aroma is used in calming. Hops plants are dioecious, meaning that they have separate male and female plants much like the hemp plant. The female flower is the one utilized for brewing beer.
Egyptians were well known beer makers but the Israelites were the apothecarist and used hops in olive oil as a calming sleep aid. Often was used to calm nerves and relax the body from stress.
After the Islam religion took over the nation of Egypt the hops plant became a lesser valued plant. Israel cultivated much of their hops plants from the Egyptian varierty by trade in the ancient world and later so so did most of the western world. Biologists from the US and UK confirmed that hops and marijuana were very closely related and belonged to a new single family, called Cannabinaceae.
Great for making lotion, creams, incense, and more or just as a calming spray. this can be used in a diffuser alone instead of using water or add a few drops of essential oil in the diffuser with this hydrosol.
