Is everyone finalizing their garden layouts? I am behind on mine being gone so much. Passionflower is down for in the medicine wheel near the house this spring. It makes a lovely tea for anxiety when you combine it with lemon balm. Both are very easy to dry, then just put them in a canning jar with a lid to store. Here is a good site with step by step directions if you have not tried it before: gardenphotography.blogspot/2008/10/making-passionflower-tea.html 1. Passionflower The University of Maryland Medical Center states that passionflower has shown in a few studies to work as well as some of the benzodiazepine medications that are usually prescribed for treating anxiety. A four-week double-blind study, for example, compared passionflower with oxazepam. Results showed oxazepam worked more quickly, but by the end of the study period, both treatments were shown to be equally effective. Bonus—side effects like daytime drowsiness were fewer with passionflower. A second study also showed that passionflower helped ease symptoms like anxiety, irritability, agitation, and depression in participants going through withdrawal from an opiate drug addiction. Dosage: Try one cup of passionflower tea three times daily
