Used long before the arrival of Europeans in the America’s, passion flower’s calming, relaxant qualities are quickly apparten on taking this herb.
Key actions:
Aids sleep
Relaxant
Relieves pain
Sedative
Passion flower relieves anxiety and nervousness and can be used to aid sleep. It takes the edge off worry and anxiety, bringing relief to symptoms such as a racing heart and tension headache. A mild analgesic, passion flower can help with migrane and neuralgic pain, for example in toothache.
The passion flower is most commonly used for its ability to calm the central nervous system. Like benzodiazepines and other herbs, the passion flower increases the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry messages from nerve cells to other cells. It decreases the activity of nerve cells in the brain, causing relaxation. It is helpful for anxiety and insomnia because of its calming effect.
Safe and non-addictive, passion flower is a key sleep remedy, often enabling one to relax and slip off into sound sleep.
Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault at all, but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the posts.
Thanks for this article.
