English name | California Poppy Extract, 1oz |
Description | The US Formulary of 1918 says of this botanical: "Attention has been brought to this California member of the Papaveraceae, as a powerful herb for calming and supporting sleep.” Native American tribes from different parts of California used this plant for many medicinal purposes- especially as a calming agent. The Pomo tribes from areas north of what is now Sacramento reportedly used the crushed seeds as a topical application, while the Mendocino used a root preparation as an external cleansing agent and internally. It was used by the Costanoan tribes from what is now Monterey to promote healthy sleep (Soporific). It has a long tradition of use in Western Botanical medicine as a Nervine and Trophorestorative (promotes nutrition uptake at the cellular level). * |
