Passionflower extract 5x

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) originally grew in Asia and North-America, but is cultivated almost everywhere else. The most important active ingredients belong to the harmala alkaloids, such as harmine and harmaline. The plant was named passion flower by Spanish explorers who thought that its flowers resembled three nails and a crown of thorns, reminding them of the Passion of Christ.

Effects

Passion flower is used as a mild sedative and as a sleeping aid. It is sometimes used as a hallucinogen at very high doses, though its primary therapeutic use is as a sedative.

Usage

Passion flower is usually prepared as a tea. The usual dose is 0.3 to 0.5 grams of extract per day.
For a strong hallucinogenic tea steep 3-4 grams of extract in hot water for half an hour.

Warning

Pregnant women should avoid Passion flower. Since it is a sedative, Passion flower may affect the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery, so it should be used with caution when engaging in these activities.

Passionflower is a mild MAO-inhibitor. When you combine it with particular
psychoactive products or food, it can cause headache, high blood pressure and/or nausea. Please refer to our MAO-Inhibitor page for a list of products to avoid when using strong MAO-inhibitors.
