Wild Lettuce extract of sap, from the stalk and leaves

As medicine

The milky sap contains lactucarium, which has been used as medicine since antiquity for its digestive, diuretic, narcotic and sedative properties. Lactucarium is known as ‘poor man’s opium’ and can be taken internally as an infusion for the treatment of anxiety, hyperactivity, insomnia, coughs, rheumatic pain and more. We use this plant at home to make tea when we long for a good night’s sleep. It is mellow and effective. I always have some dry wild lettuce leaves in my dispensary, which I brew when needed. It is important not to boil the leaves, as very high heat will destroy the beneficial effects, so just place a few leaves in a teapot, add hot water and let it infuse for a few minutes.

Contentious information There are several conflicting sources about the effects of wild lettuce as a pain killer, with several extraction techniques. To date, there is no scientific consensus and scarce evidence and yet this plant has been used for medicinal purposes since antiquity. Many cultures around the world, particularly in the Middle East, use this plant regularly as folk medicine. I offer below a few links for further research. As for my experience, I regularly eat the young leaves when in season and used the tea for calming effects.
