Passionflower shows up in a lot of calming formulas these days, but it's been part of traditional herbal practice for far longer than it's been trendy. It's one of the six ingredients we picked for Nerve Honey, and it earns its spot.
Where It Comes From
Passionflower is native to parts of the Americas and has a long track record in traditional herbal use, most often reached for during periods of restlessness or when people wanted extra support winding down.
What The Research Says
NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health has published a summary on Passionflower's traditional use for relaxation. Like most botanical research, this looks at the plant on its own rather than any specific finished product.
Its Role In Nerve Honey
We pair Passionflower with California Poppy in our formula, aiming for a calmer starting point for your nervous system. A lot of what follows — better sleep, easier days — tends to build from that calmer baseline.
