Passion Flower

Passiflora incarnata | Calm · Relaxation · Sleep Onset · Naturally Caffeine-Free

Spanish missionaries who first encountered passionflower's intricate, otherworldly blossom saw religious symbolism woven into its very structure. But long before Europeans arrived, Native American and Aztec herbalists already knew this vine for something else entirely: settling a restless mind.

Passionflower's calming reputation centers on chrysin and vitexin, flavonoids studied in preclinical research for their relationship to the body's natural GABA activity — the same relaxation pathway targeted by many calming approaches.* Remarkably, passionflower is one of the few herbs to have been directly compared to a standard anti-anxiety medication in a small clinical trial, with comparable results reported over a short treatment period.*
