Here’s another fun one! I’ve used California poppy for years to help me fall asleep and manage stress levels. It’s extremely pleasant and calming.
California poppy seed extract has actually been something that I’ve been wanting to add to our collection of premium ethnobotanicals for sale for a while. It took me a year of searching to find this, and it sure doesn’t disappoint!
Not to be confused with the opium poppy, California poppy doesn’t contain any opiates. Instead, the health benefits of California poppy are due to a host of alkaloids that interact with the GABA system and your serotonin receptors. People tend to find it very sedating, tranquilizing, and slightly euphoric.
This is a 10:1 extract and is the best California poppy product I found by far.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have! 🙂
