Semester 3, Week 12, Day 3

Everything due this week is done.  Today I'm going to work on the things that are due for pathophysiology next week.  I also need to to to the store and get some cat food which will make the children happy.  LOL I haven't started breakfast yet.  They got me up way too early this morning...  I did get ginger and licorice updated yesterday and posted so they will follow the current herb. I have also decided I need to start adding more ginger and garlic to my diet.  I need to add cayenne as well but I don't have a big enough fire hose to add that to my diet...  I'm still debating just putting it in capsules and taking it that way.  I'd get the benefits without the inferno in my mouth.  I also can't add it to the overall meal because the kids can't even handle black pepper yet.  They are okay with eating it but it causes fire for them upon exit. Obviously I don't want them on fire either.  Okay, I need to get my day going.

On to California poppy!

I have already gone through all these actions in previous posts. I'll start on the constituents tomorrow.

Constituents: Petersen (2018) says the primary constituents of this herb are the alkaloids californine and protopine (p. 200). Hoffman (2003) says alkaloids, flavone glycosides (p. 547). Chevallier (2016, p. 207) says isoquinoline alkaloids (protopine, cryptopine, cheidonine).

Have a great day!
