Numbing Nectar | Papaver Somniferum Extract

A Botanical Approach to Relaxation, Pain Support & Nervous System Regulation

🌿 A Respected Botanical in Traditional & Modern Medicine

Papaver somniferum, commonly known as the opium poppy, has been used for over 4,000 years in traditional healing systems, including Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine. Its naturally occurring alkaloids, including morphine, codeine, and thebaine, have been the foundation of modern analgesic and sedative therapies.

Historically, Hippocrates, Dioscorides, and Galen documented its effects on pain relief, sleep induction, and nervous system regulation. Modern research continues to investigate its role in modulating neurotransmitters, reducing inflammation, and supporting relaxation.

This Numbing Nectar extract is expertly crafted from seeds and pods, designed to support the body’s natural relaxation response, alleviate occasional discomfort, and promote restorative sleep.
