Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) was used traditionally in the Americas and later in Europe as a calming herb for anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria. These days Passionflower is still used to treat anxiety and insomnia, though its effects tend to be milder than valerian or kava. It is mildly hallucinogenic at higher dosages.

Scientists believe passionflower works by increasing levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA lowers the activity of some brain cells, making you feel more relaxed.
Used as a tea, 0.3-0.5 grams in a day is a standard dosage. For the more hallucinogenic effect, let 3-4 grams of Passionflower steep in hot water for about 30 minutes.
Researchers have been unable to identify the herb's active compounds. Attention has focused on flavonoids (medicinal passionflower contains up to 2.5% of these chemicals); maltol; and harmala alkaloids such as harman, harmine, harmaline, and harmalol. It’s probable that it’s the synergy between several chemicals in passionflower that is responsible for its therapeutic effects.
Do not take passionflower if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. For others, passionflower is generally considered to be safe and nontoxic in recommended doses. Because of its calming effect, passionflower may make the effects of sedative medications stronger, so avoid if taking barbiturates, benzodiazepines, drugs for insomnia, or tricyclic antidepressants.

Title : Mellow
Comment : Maakt me lekker mellow voor te gaan slapen of met een pintje, een aanrader!
Title : Bon produit
Comment : Je prend cet extrait depuis 1 mois déjà, ma petite dépression disparaît au fur et à mesure, je suis plus détendu, plus d'insomnie. Bon effet hilarant à certaines doses :) Je le conseille vivement à ceux qui veulent voir la vie plus rose et perdre leur stress (bien sur il faut que le mental suive le mouvement)
Title : Trinken/rauchen
Comment : Also ich habe das extrakt getrunken und auch geraucht!
Beim tee ist bei mir schon eine Wirkung zu spüren gewesen bei 0,3-0,4g... Leicht aber doch super um einen Film zu geniesen und in Musik zu versinken :)
beim rauchen ist 0,2 mit einer pipe sehr entschpannend und zugleich lustig gewesen, bei höheren Dosen extrem gut!
- ich vertrage allerdings von jeder Substanz wenig, bei mir wirken die meisten Dinge schon ab einer sehr geringen Dosis :)
Title : strange
Comment : Strange because it help me to get tired but in the middle of the night , impossible to fall asleep , really toooooooo much thoughts in my mind , impossible to stop them ... was wondering myself if it because i use antihistaminic for allergies ?

Title : That will do the trick
Comment : If you just want to fall asleep simply follow the guide with maximum one gram of extract in your tea. That will do the trick. But if you want an extremely relaxing and calming effect almost hallucinogenic you should put 4 or more grams into your tea. My own personal experience is that it is actually harder to fall asleep with this strong tea but its definitely a lot more relaxing.I would advise you to try both strengths of tea theyre both good in each their way.
