Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a plant that grows mainly in North America, Asia, and Europe. There are about 500 known species of passionflower, but the species Passiflora incarnata is the best studied and is used to make dietary supplements, teas, liquid extracts, and herbal tinctures.

Today, passionflower is a plant that is used for anxiety and sleep problems, as well as pain of various origins, heart rhythm problems, menopausal symptoms, and hyperactivity.

The active substances in its composition are flavonoid glycosides. The various pharmacological properties of P. incarnata are:

• Soothing;
• Analgesic;
• Antidiabetic;
• Anticonvulsant;
• Aphrodisiac;
• Antiasthmatic.

The essential oils present in the plant have a very complex structure and include more than 160 compounds, including fatty acids.

Health benefits:

• Anxiety/depression

The alkaloids "chrysin" and "benzoflavone" present in the herb increase GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. GABA is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters used by the central nervous system to prevent the development of overexcitation and achieve balance. Taking passionflower extract also helps reduce the activity of brain cells that cause depression.

• Insomnia

Passionflower is a gentle herb that has anti-anxiety and calming effects. The increased GABA in the brain that the herb induces reduces anxiety, often associated with insomnia. In addition, passionflower acts as a muscle relaxant and relieves tension that can make it difficult to fall asleep.

• Antioxidant/anti-inflammatory agent

Passionflower is a powerful antioxidant due to the presence of the antioxidant compounds vitexin, isovitexin, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, apigenin, and luteolin glycosides. It also contains indole alkaloids, fatty acids, gum, maltol, phytosterols, sugars, and trace amounts of volatile oils. One of the compounds, quercetin, is extremely effective in ridding the body of damaging free radical molecules and also inhibits various enzymes that cause inflammation.

These compounds also relax the nervous system, helping to relieve nerve-related pain.

• Lowers arterial blood pressure

Studies show that using passionflower extract may help reduce high blood pressure (arterial hypertension).

• Relieves stomach upsets

Passionflower extract helps relieve stomach problems, including ulcers.
