Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) - Promotes sleep naturally

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a perennial vine or shrub that grows in the Southeastern United States.

It’s been reported that hundreds of years ago, Roman Catholic priests named passionflower for the Passion of Christ. The passionflower’s three stamens represent Christ’s wounds, the sepals and petals the apostles and the corona the crown of thorns.

Passionflower is often used to support relaxation and sleep. Some scientists believe passionflower increases gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) production in the brain. GABA lowers the activity of some brain cells, which makes people feel relaxed.

If you want a natural way to promote sleep and relaxation, Passionflower may be for you. There are no known side effects or contraindications.
