PASSIONFLOWER EXTRACT 4-1
PASSIONFLOWER EXTRACT is obtained from the plant Passiflora incarnate and acts as an anxiolytic, sedative which is used in the treatment of restlessness, difficulty sleeping, and tenseness.
Passionflower was used in traditional remedies as a “calming” herb for anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria.
This is because passionflower has a sedative and antispasmodic action, and this relaxes spasms and tension if any in one’s muscles. This in turn calms the nerves and lessens pain, and also lessens anxiety, tensions, and any other type of physical pain that is closely associated with stress, such as colic and asthma, and high blood pressure.
