Works Lavender Chamomile Resources:
has anyone successfully used passion flower oil for sleep?
Hi,
I am on lunesta and ativan for sleep already, but they're starting not to work. I tried Benadryl which does nothing for me and Melatonin gives me nightmares. I;ve had some success with lavender oil and just ordered some rome chamomile oil. Has anyone used maracuja (passion flower) oil for sleep? How should I use it? Is there a certain "mix" or concoctions that are good? Thanks
btw, what does it smell like?
I've also been drinking chamomile and valerian and scullcap tea which doesn't seem to be doing anything (Chamomile Lemon - Surrender to Sleep by "The Republic of Tea" brand)
Alsoooooo... I have a mental illness and am on a lot of psychiatric meds so I have to be really careful about what I take or use...
Passion flower is definitely a calming herb, but you dont want to use it in oil form. Tea or tincture (or even capsules) are better, as the active ingredients are not best extracted as an oil/essential oil.
The medicinal effects of passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) can be profound - far more than a simple hypnotic like chamomile. If you're combining Passiflora with other psycho-active drugs, talk to your doc or a pharmacist (or an ND) because THIS HERB DOES INTERACT WITH SOME MEDICATIONS.
Since you're on meds already, it would also be a good idea to talk with your doc about whether the med combo you're on is causing your sleep difficulties.
There's lots of great science out there in the last few years on Passiflora incarnata to treat/manage a whole host of mental health issues, so your doc may be interested in using the passion flower medically. If so, together you and your doc can "tinker" with the med cocktail quite a bit to find the right balance for you.
Note: Chamomile, valerian and scullcap are all classified as "hypnotics"- that means they'll help relax you so you're able to sleep, but wont actually make you sleepy.
Consider instead CATNIP tea (Nepeta cataria.) Catnip is a mild sedative (will actually make you sleepy) and it's less likely to interact with meds than Passion flower. Do mention it to your doc, too, though - best to be on the safe side.
Good luck!
