Eschscholzia californica
Vigne d'État de Californie utilisée par les peuples indigènes pour le mal de dentition et l'insomnie ; plante douce sans addiction.
Eschscholzia californica (California poppy) is a traditional Native American remedy for toothache and insomnia, now used as a mild sedative, analgesic, and antispasmodic. Its key active compounds include the alkaloids eschscholtzine, californidine, protopine, and allocryptopine, which contribute to its calming and pain-relieving effects. Evidence level C supports its use for anxiety and sleep disorders, though clinical data remain limited.
The sedative and anxiolytic effects of Eschscholzia californica are primarily attributed to its isoquinoline alkaloids, which modulate GABA-A receptors, enhancing chloride ion conductance and producing a calming effect similar to benzodiazepines but without significant tolerance or dependence. Protopine and allocryptopine also exhibit weak opioid receptor affinity (mu and kappa), contributing to mild analgesia. Additionally, these alkaloids may inhibit calcium influx in smooth muscle cells, explaining the antispasmodic action. The plant's low toxicity and lack of strong sedative-hypnotic properties make it suitable for mild anxiety and sleep disturbances.
