A perennial herb, Passion Flower is a climbing vine that thrives abundantly in European regions and is a native in Southeastern parts of America. The parts of this plant that grows over the ground are utilized in a variety of forms to facilitate natural healing and as a food flavoring agent.
Passion Flower is not as fiery and intense when it comes to its effects as opposed to its name. It has a distinct energy that helps in easing one’s worries and even soothes any turbulent emotions.
As a magical and healing herb that has been around since ancient times, it is undeniable that Passion Flower possesses a striking appearance and also bears an equally enchanting and edible fruit that is sometimes referred to as “maypop” because of the popping sound it creates when pressed.
This herb is also recognized as a representation of the crucifixion of Christ. History has it that the Passion Flower was first discovered by Spanish explorers and thought of the plant as a symbol of Christ’s passion and approval for their expeditions.
In modern times, Passion Flower’s healing abilities are put to action by using it to lower the blood pressure and increase the respiration rate to release toxins from the body.
Passion Flower offers tranquility to the household that is experiencing difficulties or tensions. Whenever you carry Passion Flower, it breeds hospitality, and good social relationships, and eliminates indifference. In diverse life circumstances, Passion Flower is a magnificent herb to have in your garden or pantry.
