Passionflower leaf is a traditional European sleep remedy. It is genreally considered a gentle and soothing herb for sleep and anxiety and nervous tension.
It apperas to work via the GABA pathway in the brain which is the neurotransmitter involved in relaxation and sleep onset.
It is usually used in combination with other sleep herbs. You will find it in our Better Sleep Tea and Knock Out Cuppa. It is also in our Dream Weaver tonic. But you can also combine it with Hops or Valerian to make your own sleep tea. Herbalists also use it for other disorders related to stress and tension.
We have included a picture of the rather special Passionflower flower for you to enjoy its beauty.
All of our teas are organic or wild harvested from natural surroundings. Enjoy!
