Passionflower is a climbing vine that is native to the southeastern United States and Central and South America, but now grows internationally.
Native peoples of the Americas used passionflower as a sedative. Sixteenth-century Spanish explorers in South America learned of passionflower. The plant was then brought to Europe, where it became widely cultivated and was introduced to European folk medicine.

A common folk remedy, this calming nervine has been long used for its relaxation promoting compounds that may interact with certain receptors in the brain.
