Opium (poppy tears, lachryma papaveris) is the dried latex obtained from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Opium latex contains approximately 12% of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for the illegal drug trade.
Opium was used since ancient times to induce sleep. It was found in Egyptian tombs, Romans used it to heal love wounds and also for witchcraft and ancient Greeks believed it to bring health and strength. It was also used in Mesopotamia where the Sumerians and Assyrians knew it as the âjoy plantâ, and more recently burnt in the form of Opium Incense sticks. Taken from poppy seeds, opium is known for its narcotic content. The top notes emanated are very intense and warm, more spicy than floral.
