Mountain Rose Herbs: California Poppy Extract
Picture shows 1 fluid ounce bottle, but this purchase is for the 4 fluid ounce bottle.
California poppy is also called California sunlight or cup of gold. While the flower does grow wild throughout western North America, it is also found in many gardens. Thriving in full sunlight, this drought resistant plant is a favorite of many modern-day herbalists for its healthful properties.
A member of the Papaveraceae family, California poppy has blue-green leaves that are divided into lobed segments and bears solitary four petaled, yellow-orange flowers on long stems.
California poppy has a long history of use amongst Native American healing traditions and was eventually adopted into American folk herbalism, used as a gentle nervine and for its calming effects.
Our California poppy tincture is made with fresh, organic plant material by our team of extract experts in Eugene, Oregon. Slightly bitter in taste, this extract can be taken in water or juice. We really enjoy blending the California poppy extract with other calming herbs such as kava kava extract, passionflower extract, St. John’s wort extract, and valerian extract to create a personalized blend. It even makes a wonderful addition to a cup of warm chamomile tea, 21st century tea, evening repose tea, or peace tea.
Ingredients
Organic alcohol, water, and fresh organic California poppy whole plant.
