Wild Lettuce Lactuca virosa Tincture 2 fluid ounce

Wild Lettuce | Lactuca virosa 2 fluid oz in an amber glass dropper bottle. 
The Dreaming Herb of Quiet Strength

Not all medicine wears a sweet face. Some grow in shadows, tall and spindly, with sap that turns bitter and milky when cut — like Wild Lettuce, the herb of soft release and sacred rest.

Once revered by folk herbalists as “opium lettuce,” this untamed cousin of garden greens carries no narcotic, but offers a gently sedative, analgesic, and nervine effect — a balm for the restless and the aching.

Traditional & Folk Uses:
• Eases muscle tension and mild pain
• Supports nervous system regulation
• Encourages deep sleep and relaxation
• Used historically for coughs, spasms, and overworked bodies
• Sometimes smoked or brewed, but now most often tinctured for precision

Energetics:
Cool, bitter, and slightly drying — Wild Lettuce calms the overactive and draws energy back inward. It’s a plant for those who hold tension behind the eyes, in the neck, in the soul.

The Old World Apothecary Tincture:
Our Wild Lettuce Tincture is hand-crafted in small batches with responsibly harvested aerial parts, slow-extracted in organic alcohol to preserve its delicate bitter-lactones and plant wisdom.

Take in low doses to help the body unwind after strain, or in slightly higher doses before bed to invite the dreaming gate to open gently.

Not suitable for pregnancy or for daytime use if operating machinery — this is a plant that asks you to rest.
