A flower of sleep, sorrow, and joy — soothing pain, calming the mind, and connecting to ancient wisdom.

The Poppy has journeyed alongside humanity for millennia — as food, medicine, and myth. Evidence of its cultivation stretches back to the Neolithic period, with use found across Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. Known for its potent gifts, Poppy has long walked the line between healing and intoxication, sacred use and seduction.

In Ancient Egypt, it was often depicted alongside Blue Lotus and Mandrake, believed to be mixed into wine for ceremonial use. In Sumer, it was known as Hul Gil — the herb of joy. In Greece, it was sacred to Hypnos (sleep), Demeter (earth), and Thanatos (death), entwined in myths of mourning, fertility, and transformation.

Working with Poppy as a flower essence allows you to meet this ancient plant in its most gentle and non-physical form — as an ally for the emotional and energetic body.

This essence may support:
– Pain management and deep relaxation
– Restful sleep and calming of the nervous system
– Aiding grieving or a sorrowful heart
– Uplifting the mood in states of grief or depression

Flower essences are subtle yet powerful preparations that harness the vibrational quality of a plant’s flowers. Like homeopathy, they use minute dosing to transmit the plant’s energetic signature through pure water and prana.

This essence is prepared from flora, infused in sunlight, purified water, and preserved in pure ethanol.

Suggested dosage: 7 drops morning & night
