Description


Like a golden blanket, orange and yellow poppy blossoms once covered the mountains of coastal California, so impressing Spanish explorers that they named the region the Land of Fire. Today this poppy is California's state flower.

Sedative

Californian Poppy has been used as a sedative and hypnotic for children where there is over-excitability and sleeplessness. Californian poppy contains alkaloids and in particular one called californidine. This plant is a natural hypnotic: it prepares for peaceful sleep, reduces sleeping problems, particularly nightmares, waking during the night and difficulties in falling asleep. It can be used wherever an anti-spasmodic remedy is required.

Nerve Tonic
California poppy is not a narcotic. In fact, rather than disorientating the user, it tends to normalise psychological function. California poppy's gently antispasmodic, sedative, and analgesic effects make it a valuable herbal remedy for treating physical and psychological problems in children. California poppy may also prove beneficial in attempts to overcome bedwetting, difficulty in sleeping, and nervous tension and anxiety.

Dosage
15-30 drops two to three times daily in a little fruit juice or water.
Children under 12: Half the amount.

Potential Applications
Stress, nervous tension, insomnia, muscle relaxant, anti-anxiety, hyperactivity, analgesic (pain relief).

Known Contraindications
Californian Poppy is not recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation.

Interactions
It has been speculated that Californian Poppy use may potentiate monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

Ingredients
Eschscholzia californica flowering herb, Organic Alcohol.

Fantastic product. It relaxes and soothes without making you feel drowsy or sleepy. It was the only product that helped with my neuropathy and muscle discomfort (started using after going to the neurologist and checking that there was no clinical reason for the neuropathy). Highly recommend it

This is definately an effective treatment. I struggle to fall asleep but also wake alot during the night i am a very light sleeper. With the drops i am now able to stay asleep for at least couple of hours. At first i mixed 30 drops with water and drank it a little too early in the evening so i found that i woke during the night and felt croggy in the morning so it wasnt as effective. I then put 10 drops under my tongue when in bed already and settled to a relaxed sleep. i have also tried it on my 10yr old and noticed she was definately less restless at night.
