Key Functions & Benefits

Scientists believe passionflower works by increasing levels of a chemical called gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA lowers the activity of some brain cells, making you feel more relaxed and making it easier to fall asleep at night.

Key actions include:

Antispasmodic (relax intense and sore muscles), hypotensive (lower blood pressure), anxiolytic (ease stress and anxious feeling), sedative (promotes sleep) and anodyne (pain relief).

Directions & Dosage

Sublingual* (recommended for faster result):

Apply 1 dropper full (1ml) under the tongue and hold it for 15-30 seconds before swallowing. 

OR add 1 dropper full (1ml) into water or juice and drink it. 

1 dropper contains 100 mg of ginseng extract. For best results, take it sublingually and 1-4 times per day as needed, or 45 mins before bedtime for better sleep quality.

Sublingual* The area underneath the tongue has tiny blood capillaries and therefore the active ingredients of passionflower tincture can be absorbed directly and very fast into the system without passing through the digestive system.
