Passionflower tea from Passiflora incarnata is a gentle, calming herb with a long history of use in traditional Western herbal medicine. Known as maypop in its native North America, this certified organic dried aerial (leaf and stem) is rich in flavonoids including vitexin and chrysin, and has been traditionally used as a calming tea to ease nervous tension and promote restful sleep. Passion flower tea is one of the most popular herbal teas for passionflower sleep support.

Tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried passionflower to a cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes (covering helps retain the beneficial compounds). Strain and drink 30 to 60 minutes before bed for sleep support, or anytime for relaxation.
Calming blends: Combines beautifully with Chamomile Tea and Lemon Balm for a soothing evening blend. Also pairs well with Valerian Root for stronger sleep support.
Tincture: Combine 1 part dried passionflower to 5 parts alcohol (45 to 50% vodka or brandy) in a glass jar. Steep for 4 to 6 weeks, shaking daily, then strain. Take 1 to 2 ml as needed.
The name "passionflower" has nothing to do with romance. Spanish missionaries in the 16th century saw the flower's complex structure as a symbol of the crucifixion: the ten petals represented the apostles, the corona the crown of thorns, and the five stamens the wounds of Christ.
Cherokee people used passionflower for centuries before European contact, with archaeological evidence dating its use to at least 2,000 BCE. They prepared root teas for earache and used poultices for inflammation.
