Passion Flower (Passiflora Edulis)
Passiflora Edulis is a perennial vine which bears a fragrant, edible fruit from which this natural oil is cold pressed. The fruit is edible and is used commercially in drinks. The fixed oil, high in Vitamins A and C and potassium is commonly used in sun care products and massage oils as it has been found to be a good relaxant.
Passion flower is also known as apricot vine, granadilla, maypop, passiflora or passion vine and is so called because the stigma, stamens and sepals are likened to the instruments associated with Christs passion and crucifixion.
Passion flower oil is used to promote relaxation, good sleep patterns, and calm. It is very beneficial for dry, damaged areas of skin, such as dermatitis or dry eczema and it is thought to be anti-aging if used regularly.
