Passiflora Complex Natural Anxiety Remedies
Passiflora complex is perhaps one of the least known about, yet most effective natural anxiety remedies. You might know this plant better as the ‘Passion Flower’, which is a climber native to South America but easily grown in Europe too.
Passiflora complex is extracted from the Passion flower
Passiflora works for reducing anxiety specifically by binding itself to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain and automatically calming us down. There is a risk of addiction to passiflora complex as there is with man made benzodiazepine drugs, yet because passiflora is completely natural, being addicted to it is not harmful at all. It can make you feel drowsy but this often means it’s simply working well to relieve anxiety and users should choose whether they’d prefer to feel drowsy when they take it, or anxious when they don’t. Perhaps only taking this natural anxiety remedy when you know you don’t need to drive or work would be a good idea.
As well as being one of the most effective natural anxiety remedies, passiflora complex can work against depression associated with anxiety and also the exhaustion that so many of us feel after a whole day of being anxious. For anyone suffering from anxiety who is really considering prescription medication I would recommend trying passiflora complex first. According to reports it can often take the edge off anxiety and depression enough so that you can seek cognitive behavioural therapy and the courage to get to the route of your problem without risking side effects from synthetic drugs.
If you or anyone you know has tried passiflora complex, which can be bought from most health food stores, please leave a comment telling us of your experience. It seems that this is a relatively unknown natural anxiety remedy and it’s certainly one we’d like to investigate further. What does it taste like? How long does it take to work? You tell us, we’d love to know!
