Bio-active ingredients found in Golden Poppy include alkaloids like Protopin, Cryptopin and Chelidonin which all have sedating and sleep promoting properties; they are not narcotics, but rather have a balancing effect on the nervous system and this are excellent for treatment of nervous disorders and stress symptoms. Golden Poppy is an excellent herbal remedy for excited children or children with difficulty sleeping.
