Wild lettuce extract replaces morphine
Wild lettuce contains lactucin and lactucopicrin (compounds), at the highest concentration in any known plant. These are forms of latex-like sap that ooze thick and milky from the stem and resemble opium, but don’t cause the dependency that opium does. Wild lettuce was used during the Civil War as a painkiller when traditional opium became scarce. The lactucopicrin interacts with neurotransmitters to stop the communication of pain signals to the brain for a time.
Since it possesses anti-inflammatory benefits as well, wild lettuce is unlike pharmaceutical pain killers in that it works on the sensation and its source simultaneously, instead of just forcing the body to pretend nothing is wrong, this wildcrafted plant helps the body settle and address what’s out of balance with rest, which also helps the body heal. Wild lettuce helps teach the brain not to overreact to pain and become frantic, it re-educates the body to treat pain like information and not an enemy to mobilize against.
Great for arthritis and many other ailments. Give it a try!
