Passionflower (Passiflora Incarnata) fruit is native to Jamaica and South America. It was believed by the Aztec Indians to have medicinal and erotic powers.
The pulp of the Passiflora Incarnata fruit is high in Vitamin C, while the seeds are an excellent source of iron. The leaves of the passionflower were used by the Indians as a poultice to treat bruises and injuries. Early medics prescribed fruit juice for bathing sore eyes.
Passiflora Incarnata Fruit Extract has been used as a sedative preparation or painkiller since the 19th century. Herbalists used crushed Passiflora Incarnata tops to treat burns and other skin conditions. It has also been used as a base for perfumes.
