Organic Wild Lettuce Herb -
Lactuca virosa, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)
Wild lettuce teas and tinctures are used to induce sleep. Historically, they were especially prescribed for nervous excitability and irritated cough in children. Wild lettuce is included in some herbal mixtures used to threat arthritic pain.
Wild lettuce is not a vegetable but actually a woodland member of the sunflower family. The dried latex or sap of wild lettuce was at one time used as a substitute for opium. Although wild lettuce does not have the calming power of opium, neither does it cause stomach upset, constipation, or diarrhea as opium products do.
Also known as: Latuca virosa, and Bitter Lettuce.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Capsules, teas, tinctures. Fresh green leaves are sometimes added to salads.
