Description
Red Poppy Flowers (Papaver rhoeas) contains a substance named rhoeadine. It’s nonpoisonous and has been used as a sedative and pain reliever for centuries. They have been found in Egyptian tombs dating back 3000 years.
The alkaloids are similar to those in the opium poppy. The odor of the vibrant new flowers will nevertheless give you some sense of the odor of opium poppies (P. somniferum), evocative of dens & decadence. Although the Red Poppy is not opiating, it does have medicinal properties valued by herbalists, & has for millenia been regarded as a curative for sleeplessness. This flower was often combined with Blue Lotus flowers when making an elixir out of alcohol, and is now a staple component of many resin blends due to its gentle sedative qualities.
