Historical Use
The name "Passion Flower" was coined the in the 15th century by Spanish missionaries in Peru who saw this unusual flower as a symbol of the crucifixion. Each part of the flower holds symbolic meaning in recognition of the crucifixion story - the Passion of the Christ.
Medicinal use of the herb did not begin until the late nineteenth century in the United States when Passion Flower was used to treat nervous restlessness and gastrointestinal spasms. It has also been used traditionally to provide relief to women who are experiencing menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and sleep-related issues with these hormonal changes.
Mullein holds a great track record as a favoured herbal remedy and, consequently, has found use in various disorders. Its traditional uses generally have focused on the management of respiratory disorders where it was used to treat asthma, coughs, tuberculosis, and related respiratory problems. However, in its various forms, the plant has been used to treat haemorrhoids, burns, bruises, and gout. Preparations of the plant have been ingested, applied topically, and smoked.
Marshmallow is a classic herb that has been used for millennia, with the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans citing the wide benefits such as its use in decreasing inflammatory.
Health Benefits
PassionFlower helps with a variety of issues. It is particularly praised for its help with Anxiety/Depression. If depression is related to the menopause then Passion Flower could be the most effective herb. As well as alleviating symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats (which are in themselves depressing enough), the alkaloids "chrysin" and "benzoflavone" present in this herb have been found to increase GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid) in the brain. GABA is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters, used by the brain to prevent over-excitement and attain balance. It also helps to decrease the activity of depression inducing brain cells.
Passion Flower is a gentle anti-anxiety and mildly sedative herb that can even be used to induce a good night's sleep in children. One particular study asked volunteers with trouble sleeping to drink a cup of Passion Flower tea at bedtime for a period of time, all reported significant sleep improvement.
The increased GABA in the brain that Passion Flower can induce will also reduce the anxiety so often associated with insomnia. In addition, Passion Flower is known to be a muscle relaxant, easing away tension that can make it more difficult to drift off to sleep.
Passion Flower is powerfully antioxidant due to the presence of the antioxidant compounds; vitexin, isovitexin, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, apigenin and luteolin glycosides. It also contains indole alkaloids, fatty acids, gum, maltol, phytosterols, sugars and traces of volatile oils. One compound in particular – quercetin – has been extensively studied, it has been found to be exceptionally effective in ridding the body of damaging free radical molecules and it inhibits various enzymes that cause inflammation. These compounds also relax the nervous system, helping to relieve nerve-related pain such as back pain.
Mullein is known as a highly medicinal herb that cleanses lung infections and inflammation. It's an expectorant, meaning that it helps in breaking up respiratory congestion and promotes productive coughing.
Marshmallow root and leaf hold high antioxidant levels providing a range of benefits such as reducing inflammation
Raspberry Leaf contains a wide variety of medicinal compounds. Raspberry leaves even neutralize nicotine poisoning. It also helps with easing menstrual pain. Raspberry is a sedative herb that produces a calming effect on the nervous system.
