Passionflower Herb Organic

Passionflower: Passiflora incarnata (L.)

Why Passionflower? You’ll love the soothing qualities of passionflower P. incarnata. This botanical has been used for centuries to promote a calm, peaceful disposition and restful sleep in healthy adults.

Benefits: Passionflower’s origins lie in the Americas, and Native Americans have traditionally used this botanical to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Passionflower is commonly blended with other herbs such as hawthorn Crataegus laevigata (Poir.) DC. and valerian Valeriana officinalis (L.).

Formula:

KEEP CALM TEA:

Valerian Valeriana officinalis: 1 ounce

Hops Humulus lupulus: 1 ounce

Skullcap Scutellaria lateriflora: 1 ounce

Passionflower Passiflora incarnata: 1 ounce

Mix the dried herbs and prepare as a standard tea. Use 3-4 tablespoons of the tea three times a day and before bed.

To prepare the tea: Place one ounce of your herb mixture into a ceramic or glass teapot. Bring 1 cup purified water to a boil. Do not use an aluminum pot. An electric kettle or kettle on the stove is fine.

Turn off the heat and pour the water over the herb.

Cover the pot and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes.

Strain the tea in a non-aluminum strainer and then drink. Store for no more than 24 hours in the refrigerator.

If you find the taste and aroma of valerian "too strong" just leave it out or make capsules by grinding all the herb together using a mortar and pestle, or food processor. Prepare your own vegetarian capsules using one of our capsule machines.

Quality Assured: Our certified organic passionflower herb is sustainably and responsibly sourced from Italy. This herb is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and grown without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides.
