Poppy Pain Relief

Poppies get a bad reputation, but not all of them are dangerous. In fact, the cousin to the opium poppy is so gentle it can be used on children! This variety is called Eschscholzia californica, otherwise known as the California poppy! It has a rich history with the indigenous peoples on the west coast, and has long been used to alleviate all kinds of pain, from toothaches to arthritis.
