Calm patch by path love flat lay packaing with a passion flower, an ingredient in the calm vitamin patches

Ever feel like your brain’s stuck in overdrive? Whether it’s work stress, social overload, or just one of those weeks, Passion Flower might be your secret weapon for mellowing out - naturally.

What Is Passion Flower?

Despite the romantic name, Passion Flower isn’t about passion - it’s about peace. This vine-like plant has been used for generations in traditional herbal medicine to help soothe the mind and nervous system. With its dreamy purple petals and calming compounds, it’s earned a reputation as a go-to herb for emotional balance.

Why Passion Flower Is in The Big Chill™

In our Calm Patch The Big Chill™, we included Passion Flower Extract for one key reason: it helps support calm without making you feel sleepy or sluggish. Passion Flower has been associated with:

  • Easing mental tension

  • Supporting emotional regulation

  • Promoting a sense of grounded calm

Perfect for when you need to keep your cool at work, in traffic, or wherever stress shows up.

What the Science Says

Clinical studies have shown that Passion Flower may help reduce occasional anxiety symptoms by boosting GABA levels in the brain. A 2010 study found that Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata) extract may reduce anxiety by modulating GABA receptors and inhibiting GABA reuptake in the brain.1

The Patch Advantage

When delivered through a transdermal patch, Passion Flower’s effects are gently released throughout the day. No pills to remember. No sugar. No crash. Just calm, on call.
