Passion Flower is a powerful relaxant for the nervous system, important in clinical, folk, and homeopathic medicine systems for the treatments of anxiety, tension, insomnia, and for those coming off of synthetic tranquilizers or sleeping pills. But, one of the lesser-known historical Shamanic uses of this plant is it's potency as an MAO inhibitor with very particular Teaching Plants, such as the ones used to make the infamous Ayahuasca medicine. 

Ayahuasca has recently been approved as a legal religious sacrament in the USA, but it's roots are in the Amazon in South America, and with the Santo Daime Church, which uses Ayahuasca as their main sacrament, and Passion Flower.  With its MAOI activity, Passion Flower has gained popularity in an alternative to B. Caapi as an additive to this powerful tea, but, it’s still remains a powerful and safe herbal supplement when stressors are invading your world.

This, in small doses, is a reliable and safe way to melt the tension of the day away, especially when added to your favorite relaxing tea for an extra “kick”.  May also be used to help lower high blood pressure in some countries it is used to treat children for hyperactivity, convulsions and hysteria.

WARNING: MAOI's interfere with the action of the MAO enzymes and stops the breakdown of toxic substances. This can make certain foods and medicines to become toxic if consumed in large quantities (1.2 of a bottle at once would be considered a “large” quantity.)  We offer this liquid extract/tincture it in a convenient 1 ounce bottle at a 5x potency.
