wild lettuce
Wild lettuce was once used by Ancient Romans for its medicinal properties, such as for soothing pain, and promoting a restful nights slumber.
In 1898, Wild Lettuce was added to the United States Pharmacopoeia. It was listed as an herb for use in syrups, lozenges, and tinctures to help with sleep and alleviate sore throats and even chest conditions.
Wild lettuce is considered extremley safe, but should be harvested during specific times for its full range of benefits!
You've probably seen it before. Wild Lettuce grows in the wild, but usually in funny areas such as, the cracks of sidewalks, or old buildings, suburban areas and neighborhoods!
When the stems or leaves are cut, they exude a white latex sap called lactucarium. This constituent may be responsbile for its effects, although more research is needed.
vodka
solvent
We use six times distilled, organic, cerifited gluten free Vodka as the solvet to extract the medicinal constituents from wild lettuce.
Vodka is often used in tincture making because it is tasteless, and contains no additional ingredients.
