Papaver Rhoeas. The red corn poppy.
After an unsuccessful start on Citalopram, (which gave me insomnia) which i still had after taking,
I decided to give these a try.
I pick the petals, Then air dry for 3 - 5 days.
Instructions:
Pick petals on a HOT SUNNY DAY
Use dry petals, Approx half a teaspoon, then work your way up (if necessary) To 2 teaspoons of dried petals.
Put them in an empty tea bag or strainer.
Infuse with boiling hot water for 15 minutes.
Add Strawberry or normal Ribena , And enjoy
Quote from a Forums:
Actually Papaver Rhoeas contains an alkaloid in the petals called Rhoeadine, which can aide in sleep but doesn't induce euphoria, I'll have to dig through some sites to find the link to the story about it... I remember the story said something about Mothers taking 'Corn Poppies' and making tea with them to help put their children to sleep in the 40's and 50's. My father has had luck with them as an alternative to Benzos as a sleep aide.
Corn Poppy
*Note this*
In that picture you will see that there is like a Dark purple cross in the center of that poppy. Apparantly these are mutations that have formed over time.

Seee, not all of them have them.
Make sure you dont pick Papaver Somniferum!
Apparantly the petals contain a trace amount of morphine
