Wild Lettuce (Lactuca virosa) is a herbaceous plant known for its mild sedative and relaxing properties. This natural remedy has been used for centuries to ease tension, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of calm. The leaves of the wild lettuce plant can be brewed into a soothing tea or prepared as a tincture to support relaxation and ease discomfort.
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES
-
Sedative and Relaxant: Wild lettuce contains compounds known as lactucarium and lactucin, which have mild sedative and hypnotic effects. It has been used traditionally to promote relaxation, alleviate anxiety, and improve sleep quality.
-
Analgesic (Pain Relief): The milky sap of wild lettuce, particularly concentrated in its leaves and stems, contains compounds with analgesic properties. It has been used to alleviate various types of pain, including headaches, migraines, muscle pain, and joint pain.
-
Antispasmodic: Wild lettuce is believed to have antispasmodic properties, meaning it can help relax muscle spasms and reduce cramping. It has been used to ease gastrointestinal spasms and menstrual cramps.
-
Anti-inflammatory: Some studies suggest that wild lettuce may possess anti-inflammatory properties, which could potentially help reduce inflammation and associated symptoms in conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
-
Mild Diuretic: Wild lettuce has been traditionally used as a mild diuretic, promoting urine production and aiding in the removal of excess fluids from the body. This property may be beneficial for individuals with mild fluid retention or urinary tract issues.
-
Cough Suppressant: In some traditional remedies, wild lettuce has been used as a natural cough suppressant. Its mild sedative effects may help calm cough reflexes and soothe respiratory irritation.
-
Nervine Tonic: Wild lettuce is considered a nervine tonic, meaning it supports the nervous system's overall health and function. It may help calm nervous tension, reduce stress, and improve nerve function.
-
Anxiolytic (Anxiety-Reducing): Due to its calming and sedative effects, wild lettuce has been used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and promote relaxation. It may help reduce feelings of nervousness and promote a sense of well-being.
-
Potential Hypotensive Effects: Some studies suggest that wild lettuce may have mild hypotensive effects, meaning it may help lower blood pressure. However, more research is needed to confirm this potential benefit and understand its mechanisms.

I've read reviews that said this one made them relaxed but I found it energising, like a gentle mood lift that makes you feel a bit elated. Very fun to share with friends :D

Great Company, Fantastic Tea
I have just received the Horehound Tea I ordered. The shipping was so quick, and the packaging was awesome. I have only had one cup, but the tea is so good. I know I will be ordering different teas from your company. Oh, and the little gift was a very nice surprise. I look forward to trying the Love tea. Thank you .

Fun to experiment with
It definitely produces more vivid dreams though lucid dreaming is something that I'll have to practice— so keep in mind it's not a guarantee and the herb affects everyone differently! It seems to be mildly hallucinogenic which is fun too. Would also reccomend smoking this one instead of drinking it as tea because the flavor is extremely intense even when sweetened. On that note, this one had a different, less finely ground texture which made it burn very slowly and evenly (though it might've just been my batch since I noticed the same difference in texture in the other blends i ordered)

Lucid Dreams Pre-Ground
Awesome
I read a review that said it helped with ADHD and personally I find it does! It's not a super intense effect but its nice, I find that out of all the herbal mixes this one is my favorite

Oh my dream!
So, I am not really a smoker. I occasionally smoke cigars. I decided to order the pre rolled to see if its better than making a tea. I have the Mexican dream herb and when I tell you my night was like a movie! I did not smoke the whole thing, just a few puffs an hour before bed. I had wild vivid dreams. Things I cant imagine happened in my dreams. I really was amazed of where my mind went that night. It was like I was in an action thriller. I never have experienced a dream so wild. However after the first night I noticed that my dreams are never as intense as the first night. Nevertheless, I am amazed. I will be ordering more.

Egyptian Blue Lotus
I love this herb I felt drawn to it. I always wanted to drink or smoke blue lotus, it’s definitely connected to the third eye and crown chakra also ancient Egypt. I love how they are located in the same state as me so huge plus. Everything is organic and the effects was awesome very relaxing and calmed my mind so my soul could speak. It’s definitely aphrodisiac lol. I felt very positive and up lifted when I used it during a project I was working on. Great to use before bed also promotes good sleep and if you High Vibrational helps Spiritually. It’s overall great quality and quantity. I am grateful for the little wooden spoon they give a pre-ground sample blend. Highly recommend.
