@Jelena more from that month

While walking through my neighborhood every day, I always stop by the poppies. Or at least keep my eyes on them. It is fascinating that this plant has been used in the past to put children to sleep and calm them down. This is not a bad thing to know. 😊 Poppies contain some alkaloids and because of that, they have a mild sedative and analgesic effect. This plant has traditionally been used to treat insomnia, nervousness, baldness, and various infections, as well as in the diet because the seeds are rich in protein and oils. Caution is advised when using the leaves due to possible alkaloid intoxication. https://read.cash/@Jelena/poppies-by-the-road-504d15cf
