==Benefits and uses of Papaver Somniferum are==
* Insomnia and Narcolepsy: Either of these extreme sleep conditions can pose a true disruption and even a danger to an individual’s life and mental state. Opium, as a homeopathic remedy, can be a very helpful solution for either insomnia or narcolepsy, and often offers the relief that other solutions fail to provide. Taking opium in this capacity allows sleep to be regulated so that it is neither interrupted nor unusual in its occurrence. In addition, for those who can’t seem to get to sleep or stay asleep, opium offers an answer for a peaceful slumber as well. Opium can benefit those sleep deprived individuals where the insomnia is caused by a major life disruption. All things considered, this is in fact a plant and homeopathic remedy that truly does work in extremes.
People may also turn to opium after extreme medical issues or life events such as recovering from a brain injury or paralysis occurring as a result of a stroke, or even those going through alcohol withdrawal or experiencing delirium. This goes to show that it is most useful in the extreme instances and therefore these make up the typical remedy profile, that may very well be anything but typical in nature.
