Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a plant that grows mainly in North America, Asia and Europe. About 500 species of passionflower are known, but the species Passiflora incarnata is the best studied and is used to make nutritional supplements, teas, liquid extracts and herbal tinctures.
Today, passionflower is a plant that is used for anxiety and sleep problems, as well as for pain of various origins, heart rhythm problems, menopausal symptoms and hyperactivity.
The active substances in its composition are flavonoid glycosides. The various pharmacological properties of P. incarnata are:
- Soothing;
- Analgesic;
- Antidiabetic;
- Anticonvulsant;
- Aphrodisiac;
- Antiasthmatic.
The essential oils that are present in the composition of the plant have a very complex structure and include more than 160 compounds, including fatty acids.
Health Benefits:
The alkaloids "chrysine" and "benzoflavone" present in the composition of the herb increase GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. GABA is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters used by the central nervous system to prevent the development of overexcitation and achieve balance. Taking passion flower extract also helps reduce the activity of brain cells that cause depression.
Passionflower is a gentle herb that works against anxiety and has a calming effect. The increased GABA in the brain that the herb produces reduces the anxiety often associated with insomnia. In addition, passionflower acts as a muscle relaxant and relieves tension that can make it difficult to fall asleep.
- Antioxidant/anti-inflammatory
Passionflower is a powerful antioxidant due to the presence of the antioxidant compounds vitexin, isovitexin, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, apigenin and luteolin glycosides. It also contains indole alkaloids, fatty acids, gum, maltol, phytosterols, sugars and traces of volatile oils. One of the compounds - quercetin - is extremely effective at ridding the body of damaging free radical molecules and also inhibits various enzymes that cause inflammation.
These compounds also relax the nervous system, helping to relieve nerve-related pain.
- Lowers arterial blood pressure
Studies show that using passionflower extract can help reduce high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Relieves stomach disorders
Passionflower extract helps relieve stomach problems, including ulcers.
