Passionflower is one of the most well known and used herbs to help with stress, anxiety, restlessness and the over whirling mind. I think of her as being a wonderful tool for the "OVERS"- emotions that are overwhelming, too fast heart rate, thoughts that won't slow down or people who won't take a break but push on through constantly, far exceeding exhaustion. She is reknown for helping people achieve real deep rest and connection back to self or higher powers.
