  • Sleep Support: Traditionally used as a mild, non-addictive sleep aid for those with insomnia or difficulty falling and staying asleep.
  • Anxiety and Stress Relief: It acts as a nervine to help calm the nervous system, reduce nervous agitation, anxiousness, and emotional overwhelm.
  • Pain Management: The supplement is used for mild to moderate pain, including headaches, nerve pain (neuralgia), and spasms or cramps, by offering non-narcotic anodyne (pain-relieving) properties.
  • Mood Support: It may help support a healthy mood and alleviate mental tension by interacting with neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. 
  • Non-Addictive: Unlike the opium poppy, the California poppy is non-addictive and does not contain opium or morphine.
  • Safety: While generally considered safe for most adults, it can cause drowsiness. It should be used with caution and after consulting a healthcare provider if you are taking other sedatives, pain relievers, or before surgery.
  • Limited Human Studies: While traditional use is extensive, most human studies have used California poppy in combination with other herbs (like valerian or hawthorn), so its effectiveness on its own requires further research.
  • Not for Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Avoid use during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to a lack of safety information.
