I had some dental work done and the pain was terrible so I made a tea with wild lettuce. Omgosh fantastic took the pain away and helped me sleep am ordering more right now, as we use wild lettuce now instead of panadol or neurofen.
Really awesome to hear that. We are in the process of making a 2:1 liquid extract of Wild Lettuce. Thanks for the review, Laura
A must have in my herbal cupboard! I use wild lettuce as a tea and love the effects.
I find I have to use a fair bit of this to get an effect. The effect isn't too bad. Smooth smoke too. Not my favourite herb.
I find Wild Lettuce to be a perfect addition to any blend, whether it's a tea or smoking blend. It adds a subtle relaxing kick, and combining with other herbs will help take the harshness or bitterness away. Perfect for insomnia and anxiety.
