What is California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)?

As the name suggests, the California Poppy belongs to the poppy family. Like all poppy species, its yellow to orange flowers consist of four petals and numerous stamens. Originally native to North America, the California Poppy can grow up to 60 cm tall. It was first described in 1816 by the Berlin naturalist Adelbert von Chamisso, who brought seeds back to Europe and named the plant after his travel companion Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz. This gave rise to the botanical name Eschscholzia californica. Over time, other common names have appeared, such as Golden Poppy, Cup of Gold, or Sleepy Poppy. The latter names come from the two calyx leaves that enclose the flower. Shortly before blooming, this "cap" splits at the base and falls away.

The Sleepy Poppy prefers nutrient-rich soils and thrives particularly well in open grasslands. Its radiant blossoms are visible only in sunny weather and usually only between 10 am and 5 pm.

For our products, we use exclusively ground herb from certified organic cultivation.

The Most Important Medicinal Plant of Native Americans

In Europe, California Poppy is often regarded as a poisonous plant, but in its homeland, it has long been valued for its healing powers. For centuries, Golden Poppy has been a staple in Native American medicine. It was used not only as a pain reliever for headaches and toothaches but also as a highly effective sleep aid and calming remedy. Native tribes also administered it to children to help with sleep disturbances and nervous overstimulation. Other traditional uses included stomach pain relief, wound cleansing, and protection against parasites and mosquitoes.

What’s Inside:

These three groups of compounds are the main constituents:

• Alkaloids (traditionally associated with a positive influence on mood)
• Xanthophylls (oxygen-containing plant pigments)
• Flavonoids (powerful antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals)

California Poppy Tablet Ingredients

Additionally, two common and harmless cellulose excipients (MCC / HPMC) are used to ensure the tablets’ form stability, both of purely plant origin, and a very small amount (only a few parts per thousand by weight) of the equally common and harmless substance magnesium stearate.

California Poppy Tablets – Recommended Use

The maximum daily dose is 4 (four) tablets per day with sufficient liquid, preferably taken only in the evening or before bedtime.
