PASSIONFLOWER HERB TINCTURE

When you hear the name PASSIONFLOWER (Passiflora Incarnata), your mind might think it is an aphrodisiac- but quite the contrary. Rather than getting you racy, it is more likely to calm your nerves, relieve stress, improve sleep and increase your overall feelings of well-being. It gets its name from the flower’s apparent resemblance to a cross with nails, the passion referring to the passion of Christ. It is very effective in reducing anxiety, even hysteria and twitching and helping to control insomnia. It is known to tone and strengthen the nervous system, making it more resilient to stress. It has also shown effectiveness in chronic insomnia but it is important to be consistent with this herb since its effectiveness builds up over several weeks before it is at its most effective level.
