| 10 High quality Organic Passion Flower Seeds (Passiflora Incarnata) History: Most passionflowers are tropical plants native to Central and South America. In pre-Columbian times, many Indians used some species as a source of food and as sedatives and medicines. When Spanish missionaries invaded the New World, they took Passiflora as a sign from God, seeing the unusual flowers as a symbol of the mystery and the passion f their savior. Among those who played an important role in promoting this view were the cloister student and artist Jacomo Bosio, the Jesuit J.B. Ferrari in Siena, Father Simone Parlasca, and Pope Paul V. The English herbalist John Gerard may have been the first to report on the mysterious new plant. In the 18th and 18th centuries, botanists helped spread many passionflower species across much of the globe. Most species were described in the 19th century. Today, passion fruits are regarded as one of the most prized exotic fruits in the world. The genus is still awaiting comprehensive ethnopharmalogical research, particularly with regard to its psychoactive usefulness.
Traditional and Ritual use: In the region of Iquitos, the roots of the Amazonian species Passiflora involucrata are used as an ayahuasca additive “so that the visions become more intense”. Passionflower plays an imprecisely understood role in the little-studied Brazilian jurema cult, whose practices are similar to those surrounding ayahuasca. In Mexico, the flowers of Passiflora foetida are known as amapola, “opium”, and are made into a tea that is used as an opium substitute. Passion-fruit juice is used together with Mimosa tenuiflora and probably Pithecellobium spp. To produce the ayahuasca-like drink known as jurema. Further study of this use is needed. Traditional medicinal use: In Amazonia, a tea of Passionflower leaves is drunk as a sedative. A tea made from the leaves of tumbo (Passiflora quadrangularis) is used as a narcotic and sedative. The Kubeo Indians say that a decoction of the leaves of Passiflora laurifolia has sleep-inducing effects. The Indians of the Caribbean and Central America also know of Passiflora species that they use as sedatives and sleeping agents. In European folk medicine and phytotherapy, Passiflora incarnata is taken as a tea or as part of a combination preparation for states of nervous unrest. In homeopathy, a mother tincture is used for such purposes as calming and to promote sleep. Maypop (P. incarnata) leaves and roots have a long history of use among Native Americans in North America and were adapted by the colonists. The fresh or dried leaves of Maypop are used to make an infusion, a tea that is used to treat insomnia, hysteria, and epilepsy, and is also valued for its painkilling properties. The medical utility of very few species of Passiflora has been scientifically studied. In initial trials against generalized anxiety disorder, Maypop extract performed as well as oxazepam but with less short-term side effects. It was recommended to follow up with long-term studies.

******************************************************* Our high quality standards have been applied and perfected for many years. High Quality means high levels of freshness, potency, price, environmental awareness and shipping. Freshness: All our products are always freshly harvested. We work with many farms and we always work directly with the producers directly at the source. We know how many plants we need every month, and we never order more than what we need, so we rarely have overstocks that are sleeping in our warehouse. When we do have overstocks that have been kept for too long, we never sell it, we dispose of it in an ecofriendly way. Potency: High potency of our products is really important to us. The freshness of the plants is the greatest parameter that affects potency; therefore, freshness control is our number one priority. However, plants being plants, many other factors can affect potency; like temperature and humidity, age, time of the harvest, method of drying and other factors. We also control those parameters very closely, to be able to offer the highest quality plants, seeds and extracts. Moreover, all our products are tested to eliminate the probability that one of those "other factors affecting potency" diminish the potency of our products, consequently making the potency levels lower than our high potency standards. Price: High Quality is also about price. We believe a higher quality product does not necessarily mean a higher price. We don't jump on the opportunity of making more profit because we're offering higher quality products; we don't believe in that way of thinking. We want to offer our customers the best products possible at lower costs. We make this possible because the production of higher quality products in our business (plants/seeds/extracts) does not cost much more than low quality products that are on the market. Producing high quality plants/seeds/extracts is much more about knowledge, experience and cooperation with our suppliers, which we all know, cost nothing. However, it takes motivation, passion and devotion which is reflected in every parcel of our company. Environmental awareness: Having high ecological standards and environmental awareness is very important for us, and an important part of our standards of quality. We practice Sustainable Development in every aspect of our company and in every part of the production. From harvesting to shipping, everything is eco friendly and sustainable, which means that we respect the planet, every human and societies involved. Many of our plants come from genuine communities far in the Amazon, Thailand, Africa, etc. Many of these communities are in need, and our role is to respect them, to give them more than what they need and to bring them positive energies and business. Many of those people make a living harvesting our products and it's our duty to treat them right and pay them more than the average. Our Sustainable Development plan also includes respect of the environment. All our products are organically grown, ethically harvested, not treated with any chemical and harvested with great respect and love for nature. Shipping: Fast shipping and quick customer service is also essential for a High Quality product. Our mission is to get the product to you as quick as possible after the transaction. We now ship every second day and we will soon ship everyday. Fast and friendly customer service is also very important to us because of our high quality standards. And it's also the part we love most! This is where we have a chance to make contact with our customers, where we are able to create something more than only a business transaction. Having the chance to create this contact is a very rewarding task; we love answering your questions and concerns, making sure you are satisfied. It's not hard for us to offer a quick and reliable customer service because we love it so much! We always answer our e-mails at least once a day, but more often twice or 3 times a day. Also, our shipping is discrete and professional. We believe all these aspects must be fully respected in order to call a product "High Quality". We've been working on this High Quality plan for many years, and we can now say that our products are indeed High Quality. Briefly, we want every customer to be happy, and we're continually working and improving to achieve 100% satisfaction!
