Poppy Flower

Endometriosis Part 241 – Ednometriosis and Flower Remedies – Poppy

As we mentioned in previous articles, endometriosis growing somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. As we know, flower remedies play a very important role in some cultures in treating all kinds of diseases. In this article, we will discuss how poppy helps to treat endometriosis.

I. Definition
Poppy is a flower plant with one flower per stem and belongs to the poppy family. It has been used in traditional medicine as pain reliever.

II. How Poppy effects women with endometriosis
1. Sedative
Poppy contains alkaloids, they are chemical compound that help to relieve the tension of nervous system for all causes, therefore it also reduces the menstrual cramps for women with endometriosis caused by over active uterine muscles.

2. Congestion
It is said that poppy also helps to improve congestion caused by blockage of the nasal passages that increases function of respiratory system in oxygen absorbing thus, increasing the blood transportation of nutrients to the body cell need and lessening the symptoms of endometriosis caused by nutrients deficiency.

3. Inflammation
Poppy also helps to stop the inflammation of blood vessels that decreases the risk of endometrial implants and adhesion caused by endometrial cell attached to the other organs in the body excluding the endometrium.

4. Insomnia
It also has been used in traditional medicine in aiding the sleeplessness caused by over active cells at night because of it’s sedative agents.

5. Nervous system
Besides helping people who can not sleep at night, it also contains chemical agents that help to relax the nervous tension resulting in lessening the symptoms of anxiety or emotional stress caused by over active brain cells and hormone imbalance.

what does the flower look like of the poppy seed we can eat?

I have a coral coloured poppy with big seed heads.

Poppy flowers all look a lot alike… here’s the plant from which we get poppy seeds for cooking — it’s the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. Notice the leaves go up the stems and look like someone’s stuck narrow cabbage leaves on the plant:

The one you’re more likely to have is oriental poppy, Papaver orientale:

Or Iceland poppy, Papaver nudicaule: http://www.azarboretum.org/plantlist/poppy.htm and http://www.scenicnursery.com/archives/2004_02.html (Feb 18 entry).

Or maybe Papaver dubium, longheaded poppy: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Papaver_dubium_and_radicatum.jpg

All of these have some cultivars with coral colored flowers. And there are many more.

If you are in the US, and do have Papaver somniferum, you are violating federal law. See: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.gardens/browse_thread/thread/da9ede5219ae9780/e0de4dc485c7923d?q=klier+dea+poppy#e0de4dc485c7923d
