Hops
Hops as a plant people have named and used. Bitter cone, brew rest, climbing green — one living kind, not a single symbol.
Hops is used in Medicine.
Cooley’s Cyclopædia of Practical Receipts seats Hops among the tools, materials, or practices of medical and pharmacy use. Hops used in that craft path, not a bare synonym for medicine and not a modern brand SKU dump.
