Passionflower is today particularly popular for its excellent calming and soothing properties, thanks to the unique presence and ratio of its components, with benzoflavone as the main ingredient, a substance with anxiolytic action.

Passionflower appears to have a mild, gradual effect on the body, with its effects peaking within a period of up to twenty days, while its effects seem not to be accompanied by the drowsiness symptoms associated with conventional sedatives.

Thus, passionflower is now used as a therapeutic herb for:

• Treatment of neuralgia and anxiety
• Melancholy and depression
• Epilepsy
• Insomnia
• Hysteria and other neurogenic disorders
• Alleviation of withdrawal symptoms when quitting smoking
• Cases of alcoholism

Passionflower also exhibits analgesic properties and in many countries, it is applied as a poultice on compresses for relief from headaches.
