Passion Flower for sleep and calming is a great alternative to random herb mixes or calming medications.Passion Flower for Sleep and Calming
Passion Flower is well-known historically for its calming properties. The “amount” of calming depends on the dose (see below).
You can take Passion Flower during the day and during the night, with or without food. Try it before business meetings, when anxious, before bed AND during the night if you wake up and your mind is busy.
It helps calm pain, anxiety and can help menstrual cramps too.
Passion Flower Tincture in Alcohol or Glycerin
I sell both types of Passion Flower tincture. Buying this in liquid form gives you more versatility than buying in capsules. There are times you may not want a full dose. Drops let YOU choose.
The glycerin extract contains no alcohol and has a sweet taste. It has no calories and is not a toxic artificial sweetener. This is ideal for dosing on the go, or in the middle of the night when you can take it straight by mouth.
The tincture also comes in an alcohol base. This works fine but you may need to add it to a little water to dilute the alcohol taste.
Here’s the link to see Passion Flower tincture in Glycerin in my online store.

Dose Passion Flower for Sleep and Calming
Take 30 to 60 drops of the Glycerin extract in the middle of the night if you wake and need help to relax body and mind.
Try 10 to 20 drops at the stop light while driving the car on a too-busy day. Or before a difficult phone call.
Use Passion Flower in the evening to help you relax instead of alcohol.
The dosage instructions on the bottle say “Take 10 to 50 drops, 1 to 4 times daily”. In other words, take as much as you need!
So, if it’s a 40 drop night, then go for it. If it’s a 20 drop night or day, that’s fine too. Repeat as needed.
More Uses for Passion Flower
Besides sleep, Passion Flower is good at taking the edge off your daily, high-speed, “get it done” mode. Being calmer helps you focus better and feel happier.
We have families who buy a bottle for every family member, kids as well as adults, to keep by their beds and put into their backpacks or briefcases. It won’t make you sleepy, unless you take a full dose or two, but it will noticeably calm anxiety, irritability, and, helps pain such as menstrual cramps.
Passion Flower supports the Parasympathetic GABA neurotransmitter as well as Serotonin. Here is one article on GABA deficiency and how it affects every area of our health.
