ESCHSCHOLTZIA CALIFORNICA

Eschscholtzia californica, known as California Poppy, is a gentle yet beneficial homoeopathic medicine prepared from the whole fresh plant- sourced from Papaveraceae family. It is valuable for its calming, nerve-soothing, and analgesic effects. Researches had shown that it can act more powerfully than morphine—its key alkaloid—it remains harmless and non-addictive, making it particularly useful in cases of nervous exhaustion, and insomnia. It primarily aids in states of general weakness, torpor, and neuromuscular paralysis, making it a beneficial medicine for mental and physical fatigue, overstimulation, and circulatory sluggishness.
