I am making a calming epsom salt/herb bath soak and an infused calming oil with lavender for one and want to use one other calming herb in the infusion. I don't have some herbs ready to use yet (babies) but I do have California poppies like crazy. Has anyone infused the poppies into salt or oil like I want to do? I have done some research but found no instructions.

Minnie, here's an excerpt from a book about California poppies. It is the state flower and it's illegal to pick them in California, so we'd have to hide them somewhere, I guess!

California poppy does not contain opium, nor does it have the same addictive qualities as opium. However, the herb is used in herbal medicine as a milder remedy for many of the same conditions; it has anodyne and tranquilizing properties. It is said that instead of causing the psychological problems known to opium poppies, it is mentally stabilizing. It is often used in the form of a tincture, because the infusion is bitter. The tincture is made from the above ground parts, harvested during the flowering period.
As a remedy, California poppy should not be used prior to driving or any other task that requires full attention until the user is familiar with its effects.
