​Feeling stressed? Passiflora just got punchy… (… and your stress doesn’t stand a chance)

The effects of the pandemic on mental health are likely to be far-reaching. A recent report by the Office of National Statistics [1] has shown that feeling stressed and anxious, being worried about the future, feeling like a burden to others, boredom, loneliness and isolation, and not having someone to talk to, are factors driving a rise in mental health problems across all age groups. Stress affects our bodies in so many ways and if left untreated, can impact our mood, emotions and physical wellbeing.

Herbal support for anxiety

To help provide support during times of anxiety and stress, A.Vogel have introduced two new Passiflora remedies .

Passiflora incarnata , also known as passion flower, has a history of use in foods, jam, for example, and in infusions of tea. As a food supplement it may be particularly useful for those prone to worry or feelings of being under pressure.

NEW Passiflora Complex Spray

A.Vogel’s new Passiflora Complex Spray provides Passiflora in a convenient spray format. It can be used by adults and young people over the age of 12 and contains extract of fresh Passiflora herb, Lemon Balm and zinc, for on-the-go support. It fits easily in your pocket or handbag and is also perfect for older kids and teenagers returning to school.

Simply spray the appropriate dose into your mouth. For adults this is 3 sprays up to 4 times a day, and for those aged between 12 to 18, 2 sprays up to 4 times a day.

Did we mention the taste? With a flavour of vanilla and aniseed you’ll love that too.

New for spring, this new Passiflora in a spray costs £10.99 for 20ml and is selling fast.
