Wild Lettuce Extract
This herb is a valuable remedy for use in insomnia, restlessness and excitability.
Lactuca virosa is a close relative of normal lettuce (Lactuca sativa) that can be bought in supermarkets. L. virosa has been used centuries because of its soothing properties. In the 19th century, doctors and pharmacists regularly used lactucarium, a plant extract, when normal opium wasn't available. In the 70s, Lactuca virosa was very popular in America.
Indications: The latex of the Wild Lettuce was at one time sold as 'Lettuce Opium', naming the use of this herb quite well!
