Eschscholzia californica (tea)
Plante indigène de Californie infusée comme thé sédatif doux légal et non addictif, analgésique distinct de l'opium.
California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a traditional Native American herb used as a mild, non-addictive sedative and analgesic, distinct from opium poppy. Modern evidence (Level C) supports its use for anxiety, insomnia, and mild pain, attributed to alkaloids such as californidine, eschscholtzine, allocryptopine, and protopine, along with flavonoids. It is typically consumed as a tea (3-5 g dried plant at bedtime) and is considered unsafe during pregnancy and nursing.
The primary sedative and anxiolytic effects of California poppy are mediated through modulation of GABA-A receptors, likely via benzodiazepine-like binding sites, enhancing chloride ion conductance. Alkaloids such as protopine and allocryptopine also exhibit weak inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO), potentially contributing to mood stabilization. Additionally, flavonoids provide antispasmodic activity by relaxing smooth muscle, while non-opioid analgesic pathways (e.g., inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis) are hypothesized but not fully characterized. The absence of opioid receptor activity distinguishes it from Papaver somniferum.
