Research Studies & Passionflower:Many research studies have been conducted for P. incarnata. Most of them were conducted in European countries. Studies were done on both human beings and animals. Like many other herbs, there is no single constituents that can be attributed P. incarnata's actions. Research to date indicates to a synergistic activity of the several components in this herb. But why are we chasing after the search of the appropriate active principle and concentrate our research on the beneficial effects of this herb? Our ego (Sorry to say!, to unravel all the mysteries of the nature and esp. the sense to control everything), negligence of the holistic nature of herbs and nature and interest of big pharmacy companies come in the way. Clinical Research Studies Based Effects Of PassionflowerP. incarnata & Generalized Anxiety Disorder:In a pilot double blind randomized control trial with oxazepam found the passiflora extract to be an effective herb for the management of Generalized anxiety disorder. It has the added side-benefit of having low chances of job-impairment found with the use of oxazepam due to morning after side effects.. It works best in thin, nervous and easily stressed persons.

Kava and Valerian has quick action but the effect of Passiflora incarnata builds up in about a month. Passionflower In Insomnia:Insomnia is relieved with slightly higher doses taken at bed time. Sleeplessness caused by neurasthenic, hysteric patients and that found in Nervous exhaustion was successfully relieved by its use. Insomnia felt during convalescence of flu also responded well to this herb. The more effective sedative property was found in combination of both flavonoids and alkaloids i.e. whole herb extract. Muscle cramps at night also reduced. German sleeping pill Vita Dor. (a multi-herb formula ) and Romanian new patent sedative chewing gum also contain it. Passionflower In Seizures:It diminishes the mild seizure activity and helpful in tics, muscle spasm from fright, anger. Passiflora coerulea has Chrysin, a flavonoid.

Passionflower In Congestive Cardiac Failure:A combined extract of hawthorn and Passiflora incarnata was used in a study of CHF patients for shortness of breath and difficulty in exercising.
