• The chemicals in Passiflora Incarnata have shown to have calming, sleep inducing & muscle spasm relieving effects. Please note that although there are countless arbitrary & traditional successes with using P. Incarnata for centuries, there is (to date) no conclusive scientific evidence to support these claims.
• Although Passiflora Incarnata is not in itself at all hallucinogenic, it has been mixed with Desmanthus illinoensis (Illinois bundleflower) root bark to produce a “Prairiehuasca“, which is an analog of the shamanic brew ayahuasca. The Passion Flower only offers oral-compatibility for the DMT alkaloids present in the Illinois bundleflower (as otherwise it’s not orally active).

What is behind the name “Passion Flower”?  In the 1400’s – 1600’s, Spanish Christian missionaries saw the unique physical structures, particularly the numbers of its various flower parts, as symbols of the last days of Jesus and especially his crucifixion.
