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.
