Herbal Medicinal Products from Passiflora for Anxiety: An Unexploited Potential.

Herbal medicines containing species have been used for anxiety treatment for centuries. This study investigated the uses of the main species of the genus with anxiolytic activity, secondary metabolites and pharmacological studies. Results indicate that species have health benefits, but clinical trials are still scarce. is the most studied species and the most used in natural anxiolytic herbal medicine formulations. However, there are hundreds of species potentially useful for medicinal and nutraceutical purposes that remain little explored. The complexity of extracts creates challenges for the development of herbal medicines.
