California Poppy Today

California poppy is a spectacular flower that is both beautiful and medicinal. It is an annual plant that graces gardens all over the West Coast. Today, California poppy is used primarily for the relief of insomnia, nervous disorders and nerve pain as well as a possible remedy for anxiety, headaches, back pain and restless legs syndrome. While it is a close relative of the opium poppy, California poppy does n’t contain any actual opium. Its therapeutic action is accredited to a different set of alkaloids from those found in opium.

Poppy Research

Research into the alkaloids found in California poppy is on-going, but it is thought that one such component, californidine, acts on the central nervous system to promote sleep, while others, including protopine, cryptopine and allocryptopine, appear to enhance certain brain chemicals that inhibit nerve impulses, resulting in a calming effect on the brain, peripheral nerves and muscles. The alkaloids in California poppy produce a milder effect than opiates and are non-addictive, with no disorienting side effects.

Nerve Pain, Anxiety and More…

Scientists are beginning to provide further evidence of California poppy’s beneficial effects. Animal studies have demonstrated that extracts of California poppy possess the ability to relieve peripheral nerve pain as well as anxiety. Like most other herbs, California poppy contains a plethora of compounds that offer a range of benefits. Other alkaloids found in California poppy have been shown in research to be anti-fungal in nature and thus may offer a future alternative to prescription anti-fungal medications, with fewer side effects.

So, relax in the arms of this beautiful flower. While we know it doesn’t contain opium, you may just feel euphoric after the good night’s sleep you’ll have had.
