Passion Flower is a fast-growing perennial vine that is widely found in the north- and southeastern parts of the United States down to Central America. Known by its scientific name of passiflora incarnata, passion flower typically grows to a length of about 30 feet or 9 meters, and bears three-lobed leaves, purple flowers, and yellow-to-orange egg-shaped fruit.
Passion Flower got its name from the passion of Jesus Christ. Spanish Christian missionaries in the 15th and 16th centuries adopted the unique physical and ornate structures of the passion flower plant to denote symbols in the last days of Jesus Christ, with emphasis on the Crucifixion.
The passion flower was initially introduced into the field of medicine during the early years of the 1840s by Dr L. Phares of Mississippi and in fact, passion flower was listed in the United States National Formulary from 1916 to 1936.
Passion Flower is used as a mild sedative and sleep aid. Though few clinical trials have been conducted on Passion Flower, the herb has been used widely in Europe, and it is beginning to get attention in America as well.
Passion Flower is the main ingredient of a sleeping pill in Germany and a popular herbal sedative in the United Kingdom. In Romania, a patented chewing gum containing Passion Flower is used as a sedative. The herb is also used to easefatigue and nervousness.
It is believed that Passion Flower has an effect on the nervous system that makes it very useful. The active ingredients in Passion Flower are unknown, but it is thought that the alkaloids and flavonoids it contains are among the most active of its components. A variety of other substances, including amino acids and sterols, are also said to support the actions of Passion Flower.
