Nervines are herbs that specifically help to support the nervous system. One of the most commonly used nervine herb is Eschscholzia californica, popularly known as California poppy.
The California poppy monograph published by Health Canada refers to the herb as a natural ingredient to be used as a mild sedative and analgesic (pain reliever). A study carried out in France concluded that there is a complementary effect of California poppy and Hawthorn berry; the study found that nervousness modifies cardiac rhythm which can then be controlled by a good Hawthorn berry source.
