California Poppy and Passionflower Tincture
California Poppy and Passionflower Tincture, California Poppy Aerial Parts, Passion Flower Herb
California Poppy and Passionflower Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of two North American herbs extracted together in equal parts. The blend is named for its two ingredients; both are also sold on their own. Both herbs can cause drowsiness - please read the safety information below before use.
- California poppy, aerial parts - Eschscholzia californica flowering herb (Papaveraceae) - not the opium poppy; contains no opiates
- Passion flower, herb - Passiflora incarnata leaf and stem (Passifloraceae) - the maypop vine
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced, cultivated botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- California poppy - the bright orange annual that carpets Californian hillsides each spring; the whole flowering herb is used. It belongs to the poppy family but is a different genus from the opium poppy and contains no opium.
- Passion flower - the maypop, a climbing vine of the southeastern United States with intricate purple-fringed flowers and egg-shaped fruit; the leafy stems are used, gathered when the plant is in flower.
Why a tincture
The two dried herbs are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water - the classic herbal method. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a sharp, bitter, grassy taste, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water or juice. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. It may cause drowsiness - do not drive or operate machinery after taking it, and do not combine it with alcohol. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same two-herb blend is available as California Poppy and Passionflower Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
Both herbs in this blend can cause drowsiness. Please read before use.
- Drowsiness: do not drive or operate machinery after taking it. Do not combine with alcohol, sedatives, benzodiazepines, antihistamines or other products that slow the nervous system - the effects add up.
- Surgery: stop use at least two weeks before scheduled surgery or anesthesia - passion flower can add to the effect of anesthetics.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use - passion flower contains compounds that can stimulate the uterus.

- Age: not for children.
- Contains alcohol. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.

Item arrived on time. Great seller!
I wish there was a way to get the product sooner but this was delivered as promised. Coming all the way from Hawaii takes time hence the long delivery date.
