California Poppy Flower Remedy

The California Poppy (Orange Poppy) Flower Remedy first came up at a time when I was so tired, upset, angry & stressed that I want to or rather NEED to sleep but so stressed, grieved & upset that it's hard to breathe.  There was Intense Burnout & Overwhelm that I can't let or allow myself to sleep but had to lie down.

There was over-sensitivity & taking things personally.  I felt absolutely pitiful with much martyrdom & self-pity.  My breathing thing (crazy stressful panting like what a child does after fully working themselves up into a full-blown conniption fit) is like a cross between anxiety & grief.

After taking the remedy my breathing returned to normal with major deep signs.  It very quickly soothed the distress.

The positive potential for this remedy seems to be able to stand up for one's self, stand ground, willingness to address issues or confront problems.  It seems to address the desire to run from hard or unpleasant things, withdrawal or the need for retreating.

It seems to restore our desire for a deeper connection, unity & harmony.  It should be considered when feeling disconnected or when you are heartbroken for strife.  Again similar to Agrimony except more due to brokenheartedness like with Sweet Chestnut rather than the mental torment of Agrimony.

The Orange Poppy type out of balance will ultimately become lonely, guarded, withdrawn, reserved or a hermit.  Similar to Water Violet in that regard.  Fed up with it all!  There was hating myself for allowing others to control, manipulate or Wanting to give up with an avoidance of unpleasant passive or even passive-aggressive which is out of character.  There was definitely a desire to run or give up on it all.

Feels very much like the combination of Gentian & Oak I've felt in the past.  Like "can't do this anymore" but "giving up on it isn't an option".  It is Also a little cross between Chicory, Elm & Agrimony.  When out of balance there is a complete "Fight or Flight" response.

Another time when perhaps too much into someone else's business or taking a retrospective look into the past... My notes read:

Feeling like a failure, Wondering What it all means, if I am good at anything, Not feeling Good enough, Heart broken

Directions for Using California (Orange) Poppy Flower Remedy

My preferred way to use our tasteless flower remedies is as easy as 1, 2, 3...

1. 1. Drip a drop or 2 in your regular drinking water or other beverage of any sized container
   2. Activate the essences by tapping, stirring or shaking (this is known as succussing)
   3. Drink all throughout the day

You can also take flower essences straight several times a day.  However, this is not my preferred usage.  Try adding to your favorite skin care products & using topically.
