Nature's Answer Passionflower Aerial Parts

The passionflower is a climbing vine that can reach a height of 32 feet. The passionflower is also known as maypop, apricot vine, maracuja, and water lemon. The shrub produces passionfruit berries, some of which are edible. The passionflower's history began in the sixteenth century, when Spanish explorers discovered it in Peru. In 1569, a Spanish doctor named Monardes described its benefits and returned to the Old World with it. Because of its relaxing effect, passionflower tea became popular there. The benefits of the passion flower did not stop there; the Native Americans also employed it for its calming effect. This natural calming effect is due in large part to the active group of compounds found in passionflower known as glycosides and flavonoids. Scientists discovered that only when these natural compounds are mixed can they provide the soothing effect.
