Hugging Leaf has released a new guide to the potential role of alpha and beta acids in improving sleep quality.
-- The new guide explores the use of hops as a natural alternative to pharmaceutical sleep aids. Research suggests that hops promote relaxation and may have a calming influence on the nervous system when applied topically in the form of sleep patches.

Alpha acids, the guide explains, interact with neurotransmitters to calm the body and help it prepare for sleep. Along with the beta acids also found in hops, these compounds bind to GABA receptors in the brain to reduce anxiety and encourage deeper, more peaceful sleep.
Hops are the flowers of the Humulus iupulus plant which is native to temperate regions of North America, Asia, and Europe. While recent studies have reignited interest in their potential as a sleep aid, hops have a long history of medicinal use, stretching back to ancient Egypt. Native American medicine has also made extensive use of hops as a fertility treatment and for kidney disorders.
Hugging Leaf's research in this area has culminated in the release of its proprietary Natural Sleep Topical Patches. Ingredients include hops along with passionflower and valerian. Valerian is known for its sedative effects and ability to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. According to the guide, passionflower increases the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain, resulting in a heightened state of relaxation and the calming of racing, anxious thoughts.
The efficacy of this combination is backed by a study in the Indian Journal of Pharmacology which compared the effects of a polyherbal sedative containing valerian, passionflower, and hops to zolpidem - a common medication taken for insomnia. The trial revealed both treatments to be equally effective in the short term, highlighting the untapped potential of herbal solutions for sleep disorders that are, by default, treated with pharmaceutical interventions.
The guide says, “Patches deliver these compounds directly through your skin, providing a steady release that allows you to enjoy their benefits throughout the night. By enhancing GABA activity, promoting tranquility, and addressing anxiety, the unique blend serves to support your sleep cycle effectively. As you apply the patch before bed, you may find it easier to drift into a peaceful slumber, combating the effects of daily stressors.”
