Herb Pharm - Passionflower Extract 4 Fl. Oz. 126602

This tinciture is fast acting and INSTANTLY calms me down. It's a great value an the taste isn't bad. The only tiniture brand I'll EVER use.

I was prescribed this extract by my doctor to see if it helped with my hot flashes that were completely out of control. Within 2 weeks of twice daily usage they disappeared, yippee! As a side bonus, with continued use, it also seems to have taken care of heart palpitations I used to get around 3 am.m, upon waking and randomly during the day. My doc doesnt seem to think this is a normal response, but I will take it! I used 2 droppers 2x daily to have this effect, and the 4 oz bottle lasts me about a month at this dosage. Unfortunately I did not have as good luck with it helping my insomnia. I use 2 droppers ? ~40 drops at bedtime. Maybe more would show a benefit. As a side note, the extract works much better for me than taking capsules, even if I take the capsules apart and take the powder in some water. UPDATE Dec2014 - I found if I take 6 droppers half full at bedtime it works great on my insomnia. I just tried Gaia phyto-gels caps Gaia Herbs Passion Flower Liquid Phyto-Capsules, 60 Count and am up to 3 at night with no success/sleepiness, so I may need to switch back to the HerbPharma liquid here.

Herb pharm is the only tincture brand I use! Love this!

As a professional herbalist, I have high standards, but sometimes I don't want to make everything myself, if it's for my own use. This is one of my favorite brands for passionflower tincture. I like it so much, I even recommend it to clients sometimes.

This works well for relaxing the mind, but it is less effective as a sleep aid. The taste is mildly nutty. The dropper only fills by one third when you try to fill it. The instructions are one dropper full per dose. Good for relaxation but it does not induce sleep.
