California Poppy Herb - Sleep, Anxiety & Nervous System Support

California Poppy is a gentle yet effective herbal ally for calming the mind, easing tension, and promoting restful sleep. Unlike its opiate relatives, this beautiful golden flower is non-addictive and safe for both daytime anxiety and nighttime restlessness.
