California poppy, also known as California Sunlight and Golden Poppy, is the state flower of its namesake and celebrated with an official state holiday each year on the 6th of April.

California poppy is widely used for trouble sleeping (insomnia), aches, nervous agitation, bed-wetting in children, and diseases of the bladder and liver. It is also used to promote relaxation.  In combination with other herbs, California poppy is used for depression, long-term mental and physical tiredness (neurasthenia), nerve pain, various psychiatric conditions, blood vessel problems, sensitivity to weather changes, and sedation. An herb combination including California poppy is also used for sleep and mood disturbance associated with strong, warm wind in the Alps (foehn illness).  The dried aerial parts of the plant are used in tea blends and to make tinctures, often in combination with valerian and passion flower.
