Information about Passiflora Tincture:
Passiflora is a Brazilian herb that is rich in Alkaloids and Flavone Glycosides. These ingredients have a mild sedative and tranquilizing effect.
Historically, Passiflora was used by North American Indians, where it was applied to ear aches, boils and inflammation.
Passiflora enters the heart, liver and lung meridians, influencing the cardiovascular and central nervous system.
Studies on Passiflora have been made using root, stem and flower. It is a mild sedative so can be used with problems relating to stress and anxiety. Because of this affect many people also use Passiflora for insomnia.
It may aid the transition into a restful sleep without any narcotic hangover.
Passiflora has a mild and gentle effect so do not expect this product to act as a sleeping tablet. There should also be no problem when driving or operating machinery as with conventional sleep products.
I wonder how the North American Indians got hold of it when it comes from Brazil?
