Hop tea is one of the solutions for the relief of pain from arthritis for many years and has a similar effect on the body as steroid medications. This tea also has the ability to act as an anti-inflammatory in the body to relive the pain from arthritis in the joints.

The botanical name for the hop plant is Humulus Lupulus and research has shown approximately 22 properties in the leaves that are able to work as anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and as a sedative in the body. Because of the properties found in the hop it has become popular as a remedy for rheumatism.

The dosage of the hope is to use two or three teaspoons of the leaves with boiling water to make a cup of tea. This tea can be used one to three times a day and is recommended to be taken prior to bedtime.
