Looking for a herb that soothes digestion, stress, and is safe for adults and children? Passionflower can tick any number of boxes.
WHAT
This beautiful flowering vine is one of my all-time favourite herbs due to its calming effect.
WHY
While this herb has amazing sedative qualities which work well on any type on insomnia, it does not cause day time drowsiness, which makes it great to use wherever there is any kind of anxiety or stress. It is a great choice for children as well as adults. Adults may find it works well with stress, sleep disorders, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues of nervous origins, restlessness, or irritability. It may also be useful in supporting withdrawal from opiates, cannabis and alcohol. With children, it may assist with restlessness, anxiety, sleep issues, and digestive disorders.
HOW
This herb features in many stress and sleep formulations which are available in a supplement
form. Alternatively having this as a warm tea can be a very nourishing way to relax.
