Passion flower, [I]Passiflora coccinea

Our whole organic Passion flower leaves and flowers blooms are hand picked in Bali, Indonesia. The Latin word Passiflora derives from the symbolic relationship between the anatomical & numerical arrangement of the flowers and the elements of the crucifixion which is the passion of Christ.

Chemically very little research has been done on this species although it is known to contain Harmine and other alkaloids such as Passiflorine which has sedating effects. Also important medicinally Passion flower makes an excellent tea to get rid of headaches and insomnia. Other uses include anti anxiety, nervousness, hyperactivity, menopausal problems, Parkinson’s dieses and drug withdrawal problems

sounds good - I'd like to try that tea though I don't think I crave harmine like others maybe do. Wonder if drinking this would sooth those who find e-cigs lacking.

What I want is for a chemist to figure how to get a precise amount of harmine in e-liquid so we can replicate the lasting nicotine hit.

I'm not qualified to experiment in this fashion, so will have to wait for the work of others who are skilled in chemical extraction and mixing.

The only one I have found of the passion plants that say it has harmine in it is Passiflora coccine. You can buy passion flower supplements from any vitimin store but they are passiflora incanate, which are easier to grow.. That dosn't mean they don't have some in it. So I ordered me two Passiflora coccine from LA which is almost next door. This fall if they do well I will let everyone know how it works out. They willl be little plants so it will take most of the summer for them to grow big enough to pick the leaves and flowers..

I guess that all passon flower plants have harmine in them. Harmala is also harmine, I did find two more plants but they appeared to be dangers causing halluliations. Syrian Rue and somthing else.

Medical uses

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Passion flower has a long history of use among Native Americans, in both North and Central America. It is used to treat insomnia, hysteria, and epilepsy, and is also valued for its painkilling properties. * It has been found to contain beta-carboline harmala alkaloids which are MAOi's with anti-depressant properties.

My understanding is that the harmine extends the effects of nicotine and make the desirable feelings last longer.

It might be a good thing to take along with nicotine but rather than thinking in terms of adding it to eliquid, what about taking it in tea or a drink or something.

Vaping and a cup of tea with harmine might become a winning combination.

[TropicalBob]

Yeh, I'd like that. A bit of harmine with my afternoon green tea and RY4.

Sounds like a winner. Will not need a chemist to mix and have more problems with e-liquid containing someing other than Nic that the FDA could call a new drug (used before FDA very was thought about, new drugs my buns). Would probabaly really be a problem if e-liquid contained Harmine also.

I already have passion flower extract here. I use it as part of a night time mix to help me sleep sometimes, but it's not the Passiflora coccine.

The ingredients in this list only "organic Passion Flower (Passiflora spp.) flower and leaf. organic grape alcohol content: 30% Filtered water". so it should be OK to add to a vaping mixture, shouldn't it? I've been wondering about trying some of my extracts in my e-cigarette, especially something like ginger extract for queasiness during long car rides.

I think all passon flowers have harmne in them, if they are passafloria, most commercial is passiflor incarnate I beleive.
