California Poppy – Effective in a tincture used topically

[Gwen WilsonStudent]

Is a California Poppy tincture sprayed onto the skin as effective as using it internally? Since it tastes so terrible it would be much easier to use it externally especially when giving it to a child.

I suppose it depends really on what actions you want it to be used for. I imagine it’s antispasmodic properties would work fine topically, and probably pain relief as well. It’s help in sleep, anxiety, and other pains though might only come through if you take it internally
