California poppy is a gentle sedative with no relation to the opium poppy. It calms the nervous system and eases anxious tension without producing a high.
Take it as a tincture, tea, or capsule. Many people use it at bedtime to encourage restful sleep. During the day, it can soften stress without leaving you groggy.
It may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery after use. Do not combine it with alcohol or other sedatives. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid it. If you have a medical condition or take other medications, consult a healthcare professional before use.
