this herb has been so useful to me for insomnia.

Beautiful video. Thank you 💕 I noticed today that my seeds have sprouts, so hopefully I have a starting plant in the end of summer. Cheers from Norway.

Thank you Dr. Mindy Curry! I recognized some flowers out on a walk and did some more research to confirm. I identified the purple passiflora incarnata by a lake in a few spots. Very excited to go back to harvest a little for this tincture :)

Thank you so much! Very informative & just the info I needed to start making tea from the common passionflower. My boyfriend has a bush of them growing and no one noticed but me! Very excited to make some tea now ☺️🙏🏽

THANK YOU! Your video was 100% helpful. I just started growing 2 kinds of Passiflora, royal blue and purple (no flowers yet). I just read a couple days ago that Passiflora is excellent for insomnia and anxiety - both of which I suffer from. I was so desperate I was ready to start chopping down my vines for tea, but something told me to do more research. Detailed info is SO hard to find on this. After watching your video, I now know that I need to locate incarnata. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

Just came across your channel, and I found it to be very informative thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I have just started my adventure with a beautiful purple passion that my neighbor gave to me as a seedling that I built an 8 foot by 8 foot trellis for I’m excited!

Thanks! It is so initiative in adding value of home gardens.

wow, I was just researching this plant last night and then this morning was watching a video and to the right side you were in my recommendations with this video, you seem to have every plant i'm looking into and i'm so happy to learn from you. I read that there is a version that could grow in Washington state.

Thank you so much for your information.. that is greatly descriptive.. thank you .

Thank you so much for a very interesting video.

Thank you so much for the great informative and easy to understand/follow video!

I just harvested my first fruit from a plant a planted from seed and it was delicious. I’m in Miami, maybe the weather affects the flavor

I'm growing the plant for the fruit. I've always heard that you could make tea from the flowers. I figured that I'd learn how to prepare it.

I have been trying to find information on the Passion flower vine forever! I started drying mine since June. I’ve never had courage enough to consume it though! I’m loving where you live because I live very close by! I’m in Canby so it’s equally fun to find someone so close as I know only a few vines grow here. So bless you for all your knowledge and work and PASSION for this plant! Bright blessings always ~~ Cindy xo

Thank you for the good info. I found a large amount of the blue passion flowers growing wild behind my house and could find very little info on them online.

This is a great video. I had no idea passion flowers were good for anything other than looking pretty and smelling wonderful.

From India kolkata with LOVE ❤ many Many thanks

You are awesome. I love your plant!

Amazing thank you I just got one for my birthday Had no idea it was medicine Just lovely thank u

Getting ready to plant two red passion flowers. Thank you for all of this information! I have been buying bulk and look forward to growing my own medicine instead!

I just harvested some flowers. I will dry mine and add it to another healing tea blend.

Thank you so much. There are so many videos on KZfaq but not many of them really helpful enough as your video. I grow this plant from seeds but it never gives fruits. I guess, cold weather in Northern Florida comes a bit too earlier and my plant got frozen. So, at least I will able to make my own remedies and teas, using this plant. I hope I will have fruits as well one day as I really love Passion Fruits, they are my favorite.

Good job thanks. I have been walking by a vine of this stuff and just stripping off a branch cut it with scissors into a pot of boiling water and taking before bed on night shift during the day and I wake feeling well rested

I grow the Passionfruit plants, and actually the fruit is fairly popular in the Southern states.....we think they are sweet and taste good! Lol.....and just really pretty! Lol, love your videos! Thanks for the awesome info...

Thanks so much for sharing. Making some tincture today!!

Hi Dr. Mindy!! I found your video and loved how you explained everything. I just recently bought a passionflower vine (before I saw your video). its passiflora edulis. I've been seeing that it's similarly used as passiflora incarnata but I didnt find a lot of information. Would you happen to know? I appreciate any guidance!! Thank you

Hello Mindy, in Hawaii its common to find Passiflora edulis or Lilikoi growing wild. There is no mention of any potential use of this species of flower as far as I can see online. What is your opinion on using this passion flower for the same purposes mentioned in this video? Specifically for calming the mind, sleep and aromatase inhibition?

Hello! I've got a prolofic 'blue' Passion flower plant in my polytunnel (SW France). Can I dry the blue flowers and put the dried leaves in teas? Or is it best to just use one flower at a time? I'm glad you mentioned that the leaves are toxix - many other videos just say to dry them and use in teas!!

As I am a self taught herbalist. What courses would you recommend for my next step in the right direction. I have quite the collection of books on vitamins and minerals in herbs along with interaction guides. I love the internet for research as well. I grow al of my own wild herbs and trees..

What would be recommended dropper dosage of the tincture per 100 pounds person? Would you recommend the below book? Claude Davis The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies

Dr. Mindy this is an excellent video. Thank you because I was making a tincture with blue passion flower and when I smelled it after a few weeks, I knew something was wrong and that is obviously the cyanide because I included the leaves. Thank God I found this video before I tasted it.

I just found passionflower blooming in my yard- I’m in SC. Mine didn’t quite look like yours, but it’s obviously passionflower. I would like to make teas and tinctures and wanted to make sure I’m doing this correctly. The leaves are the 3 blades and that is used in tinctures. Can i dry them for tea as well? And the flowers are just for fresh tea or dried as well? Thank you!

You know quite a lot about this plant awesome i'm planing on decorating my apartment with purple passion flower vine

Passion fruits usually aren't considered ripe until they fall off the vine. Or if they can be shaken off of the vine.

Dr. Curry, thank you for the passion flower video. I have the purple with three pronged leaves. I picked green vine off and tincture it in 80 proof vodka. Is it safe green or should it be left to dry some? If so how long should I let it air dry for. Also if I'm taking Clonazepam for sleep how long should I be off pharmacy medicine. How much is an adult dose.. I've heard of it being mixed with cat mint is this recommended. Thank you again.

I have grown this in Arizona but I cannot remember how it withstands frost. Any answers on that ?

Thank you for all the great info!! I use Passion flower tea for stress & sleep. I’ve been studying herbalism for 8 years. But this year I decided to grow my own so I could learn more about it. I have the incarnata version. This video was extremely helpful in showing me how to harvest it! Quick question: should I wilt it before I tincture it? I noticed you didn’t dry it completely, but it looked like you’d let it dry out a little before you tinctured it. I’ve only tinctured dry because I never had fresh. Does dry or fresh matter as far as strength of the tincture? Thank you again! I’ve subscribed... can’t wait to watch more of your videos

Hi Mindy, can you use the blue passion flower for insomnia and mild anxiety? And do you think it would be more effective to make a tincture from the flower than a tea? Can you dry the flower as it is and then use it for tea through out the year?

Hi! I don't know if you'll see this but can you make a tincture out of the flowers only? Or is that useless?

I didn’t think that passion flower would thrive in upper Michigan, so I don’t have any fresh. I only have dried. Would there be any benefit to making a tincture out of it?

So, I just recently made a tincture from leaf trimmings off of my plant that was grown from seed. I havent taken any yet as it needs to sit for a while. If I hunt down the seed pack and it's a blue one, should I toss it?

I have a hybrid passionflower "passiflora incense". Would this variety have similar medicinal benefits and would I harvest the same way?

I have the red passion flower i am a former alcoholic when she used 80% vodka for tincture that would not be wise. Can i use the red flower for a tea and how would i prepare it? 18:04

I have rhis plant growing in my garden but it has a white flower, like completely white; can I use it??

Is there any other difference in the two varieties besides that flower itself? I have a vine I've been growing for a year. It is inside now as we are in a Zone 5. I grew this to make a tincture, but i got it from a slip from someone else so I'm not sure what type it is. THe vine is really long but has not bloomed yet.

Can this become addictive? Like that of benzo's🤔 Very informative, thank's!🙏

Hello, I suffer from essential tremor disease, not Parkinson’s disease. When I face an audience or a problem occurs, my body shakes, my hands shake, and I feel difficulty speaking. Are there supplements or herbs to treat my condition?

Hi. Do you have to ingest this to get the medicinal effects or can you make it into an ointment?

Can you use passiflora edulis, or the yellow passion fruit vine to make the tincture with the same effect?

Do you sell the passion flower purp seeds? Only see the blue ones from time to time.

Maypop is the one that is most common in the South. They grow wild on my fence.

My passionflower is different than both examples. Mine is all purple . I would like to make tea but I’m a bit nervous

what do you think about Passiflora foetida and its use?

I'm a little confused, I read that it was the stem and root on incarnata that had all the good stuff?

HELLO, I have a question you probably won't answer because everyone I ask never answers, story of my life. Anyways. Out if an experiment I dumped a bunch of chia seeds in my yard and now have 5 foot tall beautiful plants. I'm assuming the full mature leaves are still edible. Can I use them when cooking or make tea with them or give them to my cat.? Anyways have a lovely day.

I have a thorny passion flower what is it? any ideas?

So it’s the leaves that’s the most effective and we don’t make tea out of the flower ?

Blue has 5 point leaves and other more medicinal one has 3 points on leaves.

I have passion fruit vine in my yard It looks like my flower is like the first you show in the video but my leafs are like the flower you make tea from

Do all the passion flower varieties contains edible leaves and flowers?

Can all the different species of passion flour be used for tea?

What happens if you juiced the leaves mixed with fruit juiced? From the purple frilly flower vine.

Can I use red passion flower to make this? Ty 💞

can we also use the yellow passion flower/leaves for tincture? and tea?

Hi! I just wanted to be sure I understood this...both flowers are safe as a tea but only the second is safe for tincture use?

Can you eat the flower raw or just tea boiled only?

I am confused as at the beginning you describe one species and then show the other one or incarnata. Then you seem to be using the leaves of the first or the other species to make the tincture.

Can you freeze for a later date

Thanks so much!! This is very helpful! If you make tea from the fresh flowers and plants, will it have as much effect as if you dried it and then made tea?

Seems like a nice video but the audio was terrible, could barely hear anything; however; it is a good thing the CC works.

Are you familiar enough with this plant to know if it makes the passion fruit. Also I would like to learn how to extract the medicinal ingredients

Please can you make clear what is what as you tell us what the blue pf is used for then say use the purple one then show the blue again and say other uses I am a bit confused could you reply with a list please

My passion flower is cerulean but the leaves look like the incarnata....I'm confused

How many cups a day and how long can one drink Passion flower tea?

8:02 what was that noise

So after staring at a vine for most of the video, the flowers aren't even used.

1:30 Passion fruitplanting

I have epilepsy and have been researching herbs. So much medicine has been thrown at me. Most of my doctors are kind of in the dark and herbs and how they affect epilepsy. I just wish I had a doctor that could do more.

Edulis=incarnata?

Are both the passion flowers you revealed MOA inhibitors or just the electric purple pinky one? And I want to say for my this is like listening to a Jedi master or herbs of the earth which Yahuah gave to us to be discovered with Yah'. I found out the J letter of our alphabet didn't come out till after 1611 some time. I am a history guy but I have also have a passion (no pun intended) for learning the crash course of learning apothecary. It is in my blood, but as I age it is hard to gain more wisdom in this field that will soon be desperately needed in storms ahead for this world system. The passion flower medicine is probably what the priest used when he stared at the blue passion flower. Blue is divinity and Purple royalty. I will tell you it sparked the thought of my writing you all what I am now. First thing I learned for myself in this field is you gotta know your stuff. This serious field of work is a dieing art form to the Pharmakia (sorceries) system. I will retire soon to my land in the Arkansas Ozarks and want to learn this skill to help people by offering medicine the way God intended with reverence, balance, and to do good not harm. I learned a lot about herbalism with cannabis. When you a profaning (using improperly) some herbs people get addicted, hurt people, and death. Plants are no joke. Being a stoner is like being a drunk. I learned cannabis is all about dosage. Same with shrooms as well as any of the earths medicines. And poison ivy (the first bad is we grow up learning nicknames instead of a plants specific name.) The scientific names is my weakness as a student. But I know they are important to know. I would like a teacher in this field in the area of the central Ozarks. Do you know of any? Have you thought about doing a Patreon classroom? I am like most paycheck to paycheck. Specially with gas right now. I used to play video games and pay a 20 dollar month subscription. Thing is it catches on and you get a buch of subs. World of Warcraft had over 3 million subscribers each back then paying 15 a month I think. All and all I plan on watching all the vids you have thus far. Herbal medicine knowledge is priceless. Shalom

In the first minute of the video, you show the one that you have to be careful about Passiflora Caerulea. 6 and a half minutes in you show Passiflora Incarnata (the safe one) . Then 8 minutes later you mix the two flower's uses and names.. ????

The fruit is very sour unless you eat it all wrinkled and overripe. If it looks good, it won't taste good

I feel so dumb, I’ve been making teas and smoking the leaves this hole time

You don’t know much about the FRUIT then if you think it’s NOT very tasty lady… I GROW PASSION FLOWER vines here at our home in the eastern 1/2 of KANSAS , and they are VERY GOOD… IT’S The inner seed part that you eat… What might bother people is the really gooey pulp that surrounds the seeds makes it kind of difficult to separate the seeds… WELL, I just eat the seeds with the pulp, and it is very tasty… DONE IT MANY TIMES , Problem is , I didn’t get very many this year… THE other problem is if you want to save the seeds for growing , THAT gooey gelatinous pulp surrounding the seeds is kind of difficult to get the seeds out of to dry…

Not "anti-anxiolytic effects," ANXIOLYTIC EFFECTS. A lot of misnaming in this video, very monotonous delivery and low max volume, although the latter may be a blessing.

Oh my word.....please do NOT ever use any other variety than Passiflora incarnata (colloquially known as the Maypop) for tea or tincture preparations! I’m flabbergasted and downright shocked to see the use of P. caerulea for medicinal purposes as all other Passiflora (outside our native Maypop) contain high amounts of cyanide. I urge you to do more research and add a disclaimer to your video.

Not delicious. Wait until the maypop turn yellow or brown. The fruit is wonderful.

I disagree. Maypop fruits are delicious!!

It would be fabulous if you could speak in more user-friendly terminology.
