Excerpts from Practical Herbalism

According to Ellingwood, Passion Flower is, “specific for wakefulness, disturbed sleep from mental worry, and exhaustion from cerebral fullness and from excitement, especially with feebleness. Anemic patients are relieved by it, also the wakefulness of infants and the aged. It is not usually efficient if the wakefulness is caused by pain, nor when the patient is in full strength. Nervous excitement, and irritation with muscular twitchings, evidences of approaching convulsions in childhood, with marked cerebral fullness are indications, and it is given at any time preceding or during convulsive paroxysms if it can be swallowed.

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

• We use Passion Flower often in tea and tincture combinations pertaining to any nervous or sleeping issues. It is also used for high blood pressure. Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies. For instance, it can easily be made into powder, and used as such in capsules.
• It can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
• It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
• As is the case with most herbs, Passion Flower should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.
