Sometimes referred to as, "Poor Man's Opiate" the wild lettuce plant contains a latex that holds pain-relieving properties within it.
This is why it can only be tinctured and used with the fresh plant, while the latex is still intact.
It can be used by those needing sleep support, those needing to calm an overactive nervous system, by those with dry coughs or whooping cough, those with colic pain and uterine pain, and those with muscular and joint pains. It is a powerful relaxant and can be used to calm down a body that is doing too much and cannot seem to rest. Similar to how the body responds to opiates, wild lettuce invites the body to calm down without the side effects of narcotics.
A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
