Calling all caregivers! Parents, educators, medical folks, caretakers…this is a plant you need to know about!
Passionflower is a stunning herb used to ease stress and sleep difficulties, and especially helpful for those who overwork and over-give to others, leaving themselves feeling burnt out and disconnected. I don’t know anyone like that, do you?! 😂😬
When taken daily in a tea or tincture, herbs like passionflower can be a gentle and powerful way to modulate the stress response - sort of like a plant vitamin for your nervous system. 🌱🧠
You may think passionflower connotes something steamy, but its name is actually an allusion to “the passion of the Christ,” as Jesuits thought the flower resembled the crown of thorns and ten petals the ten faithful disciples.
Have you ever used herbs to help with mood, stress or sleep? Tell us below!
Passionflower tincture is certainly one that stays on .dr.sarah’s desk, which is why she chose to include the medicine of Passiflora incarnata in our new herb + flower bundle. It is in both the Calm tincture as well as the tea.
To receive a bundle by this weekend, place your orders before tomorrow morning! www.rootfamilymedicine.com/bundles 💚🌱
