Description About Passion Flower Extract
Passion Flower Extract may be an effective adjuvant agent in the management of opiate withdrawal. An extract from passiflora herb reverses tolerance and dependence of several addiction-prone psychotropic drugs, including morphine, nicotine, ethanol, diazepam and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
Passion Flower Extract was used in traditional remedies as a “calming” herb for anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria. During the early twentieth century, this herb was included in many over-the-counter sedatives and sleep aids. In 1978, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned these preparations due to a lack of proven effectiveness. In Germany, however, passionflower is available as an over-the-counter sedative (in combination with other calming herbs such as valerian and lemon balm), Passionflower extract,It is also used in German homeopathic medicine to treat pain, insomnia, and nervous restlessness.

herbalists use passionflower (often in combination with other calming herbs) to help treat insomnia, tension, and other health problems related to anxiety and nervousness.
