Passiflora incarnata
When thinking about this lovely plant, with a vine habit, I am not even sure where to start. Simply seeing the flower helps me to feel calm and joy filled in my heart. When taken internally, it has helped ease menstrual pains, promoted restfulness and sooth strained nerves.
The cultivar P. incarnata is most traditionally used medicinally, while its relative P. edulis produces the market fruit passionflower. Many species in this family however, produce edible fruits. When making medicine, the ariel or the entire above ground part of the plant can be used to make teas, tinctures or other preparations. This is such a beautiful plant as well as a useful medicinal, it would make a wonderful addition to any garden for both its flowers and edible fruits.
