lso known as khus khus in Hindi, gasagasalu in Telugu, kasa kasa in Tamil, kas kas in Malayalam, gasegase in Kannada, posto in Bengali, and khush khush in Punjabi, poppy seeds are oilseeds obtained from poppy (which is a flowering plant).

The seeds contain linoleic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid required for heart health. Please note that excess of omega-6 fatty acids can harm your health. Hence, balance is key. And the iron and phosphorus in the seeds maintain bone health. The two minerals are essential for maintaining the bones and muscles. Poppy seeds also contain calcium and magnesium that regulate brain activity and aid in the development of neurons. The seeds can also treat sleeplessness. There are so many other benefits these seeds offer. But before we get there, we want you to take a glimpse into the history of poppy seeds.Studies have shown that flushing the fallopian tubes with poppy seed oil can boost fertility. Researchers speculate that the oil can dissolve any debris or mucus in the tubes and increase the chances of fertility. The technique, also called hysterosalpingography, had 40 percent of infertile women in the test group achieve successful pregnancies. Not only that, 29 percent of the infertile women in the group, who had their fallopian tubes infused with poppy seed water, achieved successful pregnancies.
