Passionflower is a hypnotic nervine, and one of my favorites for sleep support, spiraling thoughts, and even for children!
In many children’s focus blends that are directed towards children showing hyperactivity, passionflower is one of the main ingredients. This is because passionflower shows an affinity for “scattered” thinking. Whether this is scattered thoughts that never quite complete themselves, leading to an inability to focus, or scattered thoughts that keep being interrupted by the same intrusive thought, leading to hyperfocus, passionflower can be an ally!
While some use passionflower for its ability to relax the body and mind and may experience a sedative effect (which is why it is so powerful for sleep support), others with an overactive mind might actually find themselves feeling motivated, due to the fact that their brains need to be relaxed a bit in order to focus better and function optimally.
Passionflower is an antispasmodic, so it can help with mild muscular pain, whether it is leg spasms preventing you from dropping into restful sleep (noticing a pattern here?), digestive cramping, or menstrual cramps, passionflower may be an unexpected ally for pain. Passionflower also demonstrates an affinity for nerve pain, which isn’t a surprise due to its relaxing effect the nervous system, and has been used to help with pain from nerve conditions such as shingles, sciatica, and more.
I find passionflower to be effective for those who tend to have a tendency to lean towards the “flight” response when in sympathetic overdrive—constantly rushed, jumping from one thing to another, no focus, etc.
Ingredients: Passionflower aerial parts (leaf and flower), GF Vodka.
