Known historically as "lettuce opium," Wild Lettuce has a long folk history dating back to at least the mid-1700s in European herbal tradition, where it was valued as a calming, relaxing botanical. The plant's milky latex, when dried, was traditionally extracted into a resin called lactucarium, treasured by herbalists for its ease of storage and use. Despite the nickname, Wild Lettuce is botanically unrelated to the opium poppy and contains no opium alkaloids; its traditional effects come from an entirely different set of naturally occurring plant compounds. Our tincture is made from 100% wild-crafted Wild Lettuce, preserved in organic grain alcohol with nothing else added.

Herbal Ingredient

• 100% Wild-Crafted Wild Lettuce (Lactuca quercina)
  An annual to biennial flowering plant also known as oakleaf lettuce, Wild Lettuce shares many traditional uses with its better-known relative, Lactuca virosa. The plant naturally contains lactucin and lactucopicrin, bitter sesquiterpene lactone compounds that have traditionally been associated with calming and relaxing properties. These compounds are structurally distinct from opioids and are believed to interact with the body through different pathways, offering a gentler traditional alternative within the realm of calming botanicals.

How to Use

Recommended Dosage: Take 1 dropperful, up to 3 times daily, under the tongue or in juice or water. Shake well before use. As a natural product, consistency, aroma, and taste may vary.

Please Note: Keep away from eyes and out of the reach of children. This tincture is preserved in organic grain alcohol. Start with a lower dose to assess your personal sensitivity, as effects can vary between individuals.
