Common Benefits
Peri-menopause – Menopause – Both perimenopause and menopause are linked to higher rates of anxiety and depression, and rates of depression and anxiety can increase after menopause. This is thought to be due, in part, to lower levels of GABA. Supporting GABA production with passionflower may help decrease anxiety and depression symptoms during this time. However, I encourage you to always seek mental health support if you are struggling with either anxiety or depression.In one small study it was found that passionflower could help with menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, headaches, insomnia, and night sweats. Alongside other nourishing herbs like black cohosh and licorice root, passionflower may help with hot flashes.
Stress and Anxiety – If depression is related to the menopause then Passion Flower could be the most effective herb. As well as alleviating symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats (which are in themselves depressing enough), the alkaloids “chrysin” and “benzoflavone” present in this herb have been found to increase GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid) in the brain. GABA is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters, used by the brain to prevent over-excitement and attain balance. It also helps to decrease the activity of depression inducing brain cells.
Antioxidant/Anti-inflammatory – Passion Flower is powerfully antioxidant due to the presence of the antioxidant compounds; vitexin, isovitexin, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, apigenin and luteolin glycosides. It also contains indole alkaloids, fatty acids, gum, maltol, phytosterols, sugars and traces of volatile oils. One compound in particular – quercetin – has been extensively studied, it has been found to be exceptionally effective in ridding the body of damaging free radical molecules and it inhibits various enzymes that cause inflammation. These compounds also relax the nervous system, helping to relieve nerve related pain such as back pain.
May Improve Sleep – Passion Flower is a gentle anti-anxiety and mildly sedative herb that can even be used to induce a good night’s sleep in children. One particular study asked volunteers with trouble sleeping to drink a cup of Passion Flower tea at bedtime for a period of time, all reported significant sleep improvement. The increased GABA in the brain that Passion Flower can induce will also reduce the anxiety so often associated with insomnia. In addition, Passion Flower is known to be a muscle relaxant, easing away tension that can make it more difficult to drift off to sleep.
Lower Blood Pressure – Studies show that using extract of Passion Flower can help to reduce high blood pressure (hypertension). It was found that one cup of Passion Flower tea daily can help to regulate blood pressure levels in people with mild hypertension. However, it is important to note that those on blood pressure medication should not consume this herb as it can lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
May Help ADHD Symptoms – Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a commonly missed diagnosis among women, with some not receiving their diagnosis until their forties. Part of that is because ADHD symptoms in women can be missed.
While there are many therapies that can help ADHD, including nutrition, lifestyle, executive function strategies, cognitive behavioral therapies, and medication, not all will work for everyone. And some of these, like medications, have side effects that should first be discussed with a provider. Passionflower has been one herb that research has cited as potentially helpful for aiding ADHD symptoms. Because of its low side effect risk and gentle action, it may be a helpful adjunct therapy to supporting those with ADHD in their sleep, mood, and behavior.
