An herbal tea can be prepared from the dried hops fruits pouring 150 ml water to over one to two teaspoons of the powdered dried hops fruit in a pot. The dried hops fruit must be allowed to steep into the water for 10 - 15 minutes before it is ready for drinking by the patient. The hops based herbal tinctures can be used at doses of 1-2 ml taken two or three times daily during the treatment regimen. Thrice or twice daily, supplements of the tablet or capsule form can also be taken - these supplements are typically 500-1,000 mg per dose. Combination herbal remedies, using mixtures of the hops with other herbs are common; typically herbal sedatives like the valerian, the passion flower, and the skullcap are used in such mixed herbal preparations.

There exists no known or verified contraindications for the use of hops with other medications and the herb is generally considered to be very safe. At the same time, some reports indicate that a few persons may experience allergic skin rash following the handling of dried hops flowers - pollen sensitivity may be the cause of such allergic reactions. At the same time, pregnant women must avoid using large doses of hops as the herb has an anti-contractive effect if taken in excessive amounts.
