Passiflora, 60's - Sloth Medical

ALCOHOL
In both chronic and acute administrations, the benzoflavone of Passionflower Incarnata significantly prevented the expression of withdrawal effects of alcohol due to significant decrease in anxiety. The chronic administration of P. incarnata with alcohol had better preventive effects than the single acute treatment with P. incarnata in alcohol-dependent mice.

OPIOID
The study presented double-blind randomized controlled trial of clonidine plus passiflora extract vs. clonidine plus placebo in the outpatient detoxification of 65 opiates addicts. While both protocols were equally effective in treating the physical symptoms of withdrawal syndromes, the passiflora plus clonidine group showed a significant superiority over clonidine alone in the management of mental symptoms.
