Wildcrafted Wild Lettuce Tincture
Wild Lettuce (Lactuca virosa), often referred to as “lettuce opium”, is a deeply calming nervine traditionally used to reduce nerve pain, muscle tension, and mental restlessness. It contains no actual opiates, but offers similar soothing effects via lactucarium, a bitter white sap found in the plant.
Wild Lettuce doesn’t shut down your system—it turns down the volume. Especially helpful for overstimulated nerves, stress-induced tension, or restless sleep.
Key active compounds:
-
Lactucin & lactucopicrin – Natural sesquiterpene lactones with sedative and analgesic properties
-
Flavonoids & triterpenes – Help reduce inflammation in nerves and tissues
-
Bitter resins – Gently calm the nervous system and digestive tract
-
Volatile oils – Aid in grounding and parasympathetic activation (rest-and-repair state)
Ideal for people experiencing:
-
Nerve pain, sciatica, or tension headaches
-
Overwhelm, racing thoughts, or restlessness
-
Muscular cramps or chronic tension
-
Discomfort that prevents restful sleep
-
Chronic pain patterns tied to nervous system overactivity
-
Long-term stress that’s left the system “fried”
Wild Lettuce is especially valuable in the evening, when the day’s mental and physical stress begins to manifest as body discomfort or insomnia. Unlike pharmaceutical sedatives, it supports the body’s natural return to regulation.
