Canvas - Passionflower

from $40.00
Passionflower, scientifically often referred to as Passiflora incarnata (Maypop), is a vigorous climbing vine native to the Americas, distinguished by its incredibly intricate and showy white and purple flowers. Historically, and in contemporary herbalism, this plant has been valued for its traditional uses as a mild sedative, anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), and sleep aid. Extracts from the aerial parts of the plant are frequently used in dietary supplements and teas to help with anxiety, insomnia, and nervous restlessness, a practice which has some supporting preliminary research suggesting its calming effects, possibly due to interaction with GABA receptors in the brain. Beyond its medicinal history, the vine is also cultivated for its ornamental value and produces an edible fruit, sometimes called the "maypop."
