**California Poppy**–Eschscholzia Californica–Other names: Californian Poppy, Golden Poppy, California Sunlight, Cup of GoldFrom Southern California all the way to southern Washington, the California Poppy can be found growing in open, grassy areas and deserts. Before any of these Spanish explorers ventured to any of the Americas, the Native Americans were using this wonderful plant for a variety of medicinal purposes, many for which it is still used todayCalifornia Poppy is a member of the poppy family (papaver), but it contains no opium or opiates. It is safe and non-addictive, and its sedative properties come from other alkaloids.This tincture is made at a 1:5 herb to mestruum ratio (200mg per ml) with organic California Poppy grown in the USA.

Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this:• Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant• Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that• If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat, until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water)About our tinctures:Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills.
