Poppies, particularly the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), have ancient medicinal uses for pain relief (analgesia) and sedation due to alkaloids like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, extracted as opium latex, leading to modern opioids. While P. somniferum provides powerful medicines, other poppies (like California poppies) offer milder sedative or anti-inflammatory effects
