Our California Poppy Honey Extract is a golden infusion of freshly gathered whole plant (Eschscholzia californica)—the sun-kissed flower of the West. This vibrant plant has been traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of California and the Southwest for its gentle, soothing nature and connection to the rhythms of rest, transition, along with emotional balance. In folk herbalism, it has long been considered a plant of the heart and spirit—inviting calm during life’s storms, and offering support during times of restlessness or inner agitation.
Though not used in classical Ayurveda, its energetics align with herbs traditionally used to pacify excess Vata—cooling, slightly bitter, and gently grounding. Native groups including the Chumash, Pomo, and Costanoan peoples used the plant in poultices and infusions to encourage deep rest and soothe the nervous system.
Ojas Naturals Honey Extracts are created using a proprietary process developed from traditional Ayurvedic methods. The honey used in the extraction process works to extract different constituents of the plants, providing a more complete extraction while also adding a pleasant, sweet flavor and, according to the Ayurvedic tradition, honey acts as a carrier during the digestive process, carrying and assimilating the herbs deeper into tissues.
