Which Means No Taste, No Chemicals & No E Numbers
Passionflower
is an herbal plant that can make you calm, relaxed, and even sleepy
Known for its fragrance and unique colourful flowers, passionflower
was traditionally used as a calming herb. Today, the properties in
passionflower still make it useful as a soothing sleep-aid and in
supporting relaxation in times of stress. Scientists believe that
passionflower works by increasing levels of a chemical called
gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA reduces the activity
of some brain cells, inducing a greater state of relaxation.
Since
passionflower is a nervine, meaning that it has an effect on the
nervous system, it can intensify the effects of prescription sedatives.
The two should not be taken simultaneously.
Nervines
like passionflower are considered complementary herbs to use along with
adaptogens, like our Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is a unique herb in that
it can have a very calming effect, but it can also energize a person
when needed, the best of both worlds, all in one little herb.
Herbs
like passionflower are able to help with stress because they improve
the body’s physiological response to stress, which decreases the demand
placed on the adrenal glands and helps to lower cortisol levels. Lower
cortisol levels help to improve sleep patterns and health in general
Passionflower,
Passiflora incarnata, is an American native that belongs to a genus of
flowering vines, members of which are found throughout the world.
Passion flowers, striking in their appearance, consist of a ring of flat
violet-colored petals beneath an inner ring of darker tendril-like
petals. Some passion flowers produce an edible fruit, called a maypop.
The flowers, leaves and stems of the plant offer certain health
benefits.
Anti-Depressant and Menopause Relief
Supplementation
with Passionflower improves depression and other symptoms of menopause,
including anger, insomnia and headache. Participants consumed
Passionflower supplements daily for 6 weeks. Significant symptom
improvement occurred by the third week. Researchers concluded that
Passionflower offers benefits for management of menopause in women who
either cannot or choose not to use hormone replacement therapy.
Anti-Anxiety
Anti-anxiety
benefits of Passionflower were demonstrated in an animal study
published in the June 2011 issue of "Phytotherapy Research." Animals
given doses of 150 milligrams per kilogram body weight spent more time
in open, unprotected and elevated areas during a maze test.
Additionally, the supplement did not cause either a sedative or
stimulating effect. A study published in the March 2010 "Journal of
Ethnopharmacology" found that low doses of passion flower extract
reduced anxiety, while higher doses produced a sedative effect.
Blood Pressure Lowering
Passionflower
can help manage high blood pressure. In tests it significantly reduced
elevated blood pressure levels. Researchers determined that anthocyanin
antioxidant compounds and a compound in Passionflower called edulilic
acid were responsible for the benefits. An animal study found that
Passionflower fruit pulp significantly reduced systolic blood pressure,
the upper number of the blood pressure ratio, signifying pressure in
arteries during heart contraction. Passionflower also increased levels
of an antioxidant enzyme and decreased levels of oxidized lipids. Lipids
damaged from accumulated toxins and waste products.
