Question about herbal healing

[Guest guest]

Question for those who know more about herbal healing than I do:

I have been drinking some willow bark tea now and then for headache relief. I

have also been sprinkling a few poppy seeds on my salads from time to time, and

this got me thinking. I know that given quite a bit of poppy seeds, a person

could make opium or laudinum. Since I am not interested in doing either, I am

not asking about that, however, I laudinum was famous for easing pain and

helping people sleep, so, could I combine the two for more effective pain

relief?

Can I consume a small amout of poppy seeds to enhance the pain relieving power

of willow bark? Or is the combination a bad idea?

Thanks,

Roxanne
