I am totally fascinated with Nature. The Passionflower is most unique. Why? the plant is so smart in its efforts to prevent butterflies laying to many eggs on its leaves by bearing small nubs to resemble laid eggs. The reason is that butterfly eggs hatch larvae and larvae feed on the vines leaves.
With over 500 species worldwide, many Passionflower vines also exhibit other traits to guarantee their effort of survival. I suggest you do your research to learn more about amazing plant.
The
ancient Aztecs reportedly used passionflower as a sedative and pain
reliever. Today Passionflower is used as a calming herb for anxiety, insomnia, restlessness and blood pressure.
Passionflower
is generally considered to be nontoxic when used in moderation. Many
herbalists prescribe three or four cups a day without any problems
reported. Do not take passionflower if you are already taking
prescription medication for anxiety or depression, as excessive
sleepiness has been reported.
Passionflower tea can be made by infusing 1 tablespoon of dried herbs in
1 cup boiling water. Let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes. Drink
the tea near bedtime to induce restful sleep.Or use two droppers-full (about 50 drops) of tincture in warm
water as a tea before bed.
I only present ideas and always suggest the person reading this further their own research. As they say knowledge is power, also never take another person's word until you find out for yourself.
Nature's health food store has much to offer you without the side effects of prescription drugs.
