Californian poppy has the reputation of being a non-addictive alternative to the Opium Poppy, though it is less powerful.
It has been used as a sedative and hypnotic for children, where there is over-excitability and sleeplessness.
It can be used wherever an anti-spasmodic is required.
The American Indians used it for colic pains and it may be useful in the treatment of gall-bladder colic.
Actions: anxiolytic, sedative (mild), analgesic, hypnotic, anti-spasmodic, anodyne.
