About this episode

This episode discusses the benefits of passionflower for sleep and overthinking, along with insights on managing chronic stress.

Have you ever found yourself lying in bed unable to sleep, thoughts spinning in your head like a hamster wheel? Passionflower ( Passiflora incarnata ) may just be the herb for you! In this short episode, I discuss what I love about passionflower, when it truly shines for dealing with insomnia, and my favorite ways to work with it. As you’ll hear, passionflower can be a wonderful herbal ally for certain types of insomnia—but unfortunately, sometimes all the herbs in the world can’t help if chronic stress is what’s keeping you from being able to sleep. When this happens, it’s time to work on things at a deeper level. That’s why my friend Rebecca Altman and I created our free Building Resilience mini course, which will help you to start shifting your relationship to stress at its core—and yes, there will be herbs involved, too! You can sign up for the free mini course here .
