Description
Passion flower is known as maypop in North America and was traditionally used by the Houmas in Louisiana as a blood tonic. The Mayans regarded crushed Passion flower plant as helpful for swellings and the decoction for ringworm. It was first described by a European botanist in the 1780s and by the 19th century Passion flower had joined the herbal repertoire, initially as a remedy for epilepsy and later as a cure for insomnia.
Today, Passion flower is considered an effective but gentle sedative and painkiller which will also reduce blood pressure. Passion flower is widely used in over-the-counter products for anxiety and nervous tension and is often combined with valerian or hops. An infusion of the dried herb can also be helpful for period pain or tension headaches, and can be supportive for a number of other nervous conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and irregular heart beats.
Passion flower can be grown outside in warm areas; otherwise keep it as a conservatory or indoor climber and use the leaves in teas for insomnia.
Passion flower takes its name not from any effect it may have on the emotions, but from the religious symbolism of its flowers: the three stigmas were taken to represent the nails of the Crucifixion, the five anthers were Christ's five wounds, while the ten petals represented the Apostles present at the time (Peter and Judas Iscariot having absented themselves).
