With a name that means "sleepy one" in Spanish (dormidera), California Poppy is traditionally used for calming support for the nervous system.
Native American tribes used this herb for centuries, in herbalism and as food, and in some regions placed California Poppy flowers under their children’s beds to help them sleep. It’s also the official state flower of California.
