Doctor's Note with Dr. Rigobert Kefferputz, ND: Pascoflair
Stress; the new status quo. It is unpredictable, threatening, and uncontrollable. That’s challenging for any person struggling with difficulty falling asleep or living with nervous restlessness.
Passionflower is one of the best-researched, with multiple studies in animals and humans as well as a long history of clinical use. One double-blind, randomized controlled trial concluded that Passionflower extract is as effective of a remedy for the management of Generalized Anxiety Disorder with a lower incidence of impairment of job performance compared to the benzodiazepine oxazepam.
Pascoflair may be taken on an as needed basis though there is merit in taking it proactively; whether that is to start your day in relaxation or when you anticipate conflict. The best dose is 1 tablet twice daily for adults, adolescents above the age of 12. Pascoflair has a noticeable effect; rapid onset within 30minutes and collectively my patients take comfort in knowing that it will manage their restlessness on a repeated, predictable basis. In this manner, patients don’t resort to stress coping mechanisms, nor projecting their inner turmoil onto their loved ones – what’s the outcome? They take a breath, letting that calm feeling wash over them, and step into their life in alignment.
