Passiflora means "flower of suffering" or "passion flower" in Latin. Its active ingredients are found in the aerial parts: flowers, stems and leaves of the plant.

The compounds in the plant stimulate an increase in the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, in the brain, which produces a mild sedative effect. Its preparation and consumption to activate its healing properties is extremely simple. In this case, the recommendation is to consume it in an easy-to-prepare infusion.
