Wild Lettuce Herb c/s

Botanical Name - Lactuca Spp

Other Names - Prickly Lettuce, Lettuce Opium

Origin - USA

Culinary Usages - Use in tea blends. The dried herb may also be tinctured or encapsulated. 

Cosmetic Usages - Strong infusions are used topically as an antiseptic wash. 

Although wild lettuce is related to the variety of garden lettuce commonly used for sandwiches and salad, it differs considerably in appearance and other characteristics. What the herb lacks in ornamental or culinary appeal is compensated by the milky latex found in its leaves and stems.

The dried herb, which contains a variety of sesquiterpene lactones and coumarins, is made into tea. Although this plant is also known as Lettuce Opium, the cultivated form of this herb lacks the narcotic agent found in related species. While wild lettuce is sometimes used in tea blends, it is more commonly used topically or is tinctured.
