Hashkhash - sleeping pill poppy

Essence.
There are several types of poppy: garden, wild, and sometimes black, and another type - horned, that is, sea, which has a curved fruit, as well as a “foamy” type - hirakli.

Choice.

The best and most harmless poppy is the white poppy. Poppy heads of all kinds should be crushed fresh, made into cakes, preserved and consumed.

Nature.
Garden poppy is cold, dry to the second degree, and black poppy is to the third degree, and they say up to the fourth.

Actions and properties.
All poppies are refrigerated and have no nutritional value to eat. Black poppy thickens and dries. The horned sea poppy, whose fruit is curved like a bull's horn, peels and tears off; It cleanses strongly. Wild poppy flowers remove traces of ulcers in livestock.

Tumors and acne.
All types of poppy, except sea poppy, are used to lubricate carbuncles.

Wounds and ulcers.
The leaves of the horned shore poppy help against contaminated ulcers and corrode wild meat; Due to their cleansing properties, they tear off scabs. Its flowers also act in the same way. Poppy is not suitable for external ulcers as it over-cleanses. Wild poppy is used to make medicinal dressings for ulcers with olive oil, and it eliminates them.

Tools with joints.
Sea poppy and figs are used to lubricate joints for gout, and this helps. Boiling maca root in water until half of it evaporates and giving it to drink helps with inflammation of the sciatic nerve.

Organs of the head.
Poppy, especially black, puts you to sleep. It also causes numbness, and if administered on the wick, it sedates and prevents catarrhs. If a person suffering from insomnia applies a medicinal poppy bandage to his forehead, he will benefit from it; the same thing will happen if you pour its decoction on your forehead. If you induce vomiting with the “foamy” poppy, giving it as a drink in one Oxybuff of water with honey, and also pouring boiled juice of the “foamy” poppy, those prone to epilepsy will benefit. Its oil with rose oil is good for headaches if you rub it on your head, although it is better to abstain from this as much as possible. A decoction of it is put in drops into the ear in case of severe pain, and this soothes the pain.

Organs of the eye.
For very painful pain in the eye, use a cold decoction of poppy seeds, and it soothes the pain if necessary. However, it is dangerous, as we have already said regarding opium.

Breast organs.
Poppy is useful for hot coughs, catarrhs ​​that descend into the chest, and hemoptysis; A medicine for licking is sometimes prepared from it, which is very useful in these cases, especially if the poppy is mixed with acacia and salsify juice. Ibn Masawayh says: “The seeds of the black poppy cleanse the chest, and as for the peel, its most obvious quality is that it makes expectoration difficult; seeds of all types of poppy promote expectoration.”

Nutritional organs.
Poppy helps with the accumulation of fluids in the stomach, and sea horned poppy, if you boil its root in water until half the water is gone, helps with liver diseases and is useful for those who have thick juice in the stomach. Butter poppy seeds cause vomiting; the same thing is said about wild poppy.

Eruption organs.
If white poppy is finely crushed and given to drink in black and tart wine, it stops chronic diarrhea. The nature of poppy is not free from laxative power, but at the same time it dissolves in water, and its decoction, if boiled for a long time and made into an enema, helps against dysentery. Drinking poppy seeds in water sweetened with honey softens the nature.

If you give the “creamy” poppy drink in the amount of one Oxybuff, it causes vomiting. They say that the seeds of the “creamy” poppy drive away mucus and unripe juice. Seeds of one of the types of Egyptian poppy, which are given to drink with nati fom and noodles, have the same effect, and garden poppy seeds with honey increase the amount of male semen.
