The Passionflower is considered an herb with a mild, yet particularly effective, calming action. It is believed to affect the central nervous system by addressing disorders such as anxiety, melancholy, hyperactivity, and excessive nervousness. According to herbalists, consuming Passionflower does not lead to addiction.

Some claim that the "calming" properties of Passionflower also have an effect on the muscles (muscle relaxant property), and many writings indicate that consuming Passionflower may reduce blood pressure. In many areas of Europe, the herb is used to relax "hyperactive" children.

How to use: Passionflower can be brewed as a decoction by boiling it for 10-15 minutes in water (estimate that you will need 2-5g of herb per "cup" of drink). You can consume up to 3 cups of Passionflower per day (morning, noon, evening before meals).
