Thanks.Wild Lettuce (Lactuca canadensis) is a rather fierce looking plant you see in ditches and fields in my area. Many folks mistake it for some type of thistle, but it is actually a member of the daisy family. Even though it has been referred to as Opium Lettuce, it does not contain opiates, but does contain some opiod like compounds. Wild lettuce has been used in the past as a sedative and pain reliever with much success. I've also found it very effective for kids that deal with ADHD, but Catnip would me my first choice for this particular issue. The latex or milky sap you see when you break a leaf or stem is thought to be the medicine in the plant. Of course, if we we're able to use just the latex to make medicine, to me, it would no longer be a medicinal but closer to a drug. Having said that, I think it is worth the effort to process the plant tincture in such a way as to give us the most access to the latex without compromising what the plant gives us as a whole. So due to the multi-harvest and multi-step process to prepare this plant the price reflects the effort and I hope you feel it was worth it. This is an alcohol tincture.Dosages vary depending on use. If you are using for pain or acute anxiety, start with one dropperful (one squeeze of the bulb) and see how you feel after 20-30 minutes, and adjust your dose from there. This plant is not meant to be taken for extended periods of time.Returns: I am not accepting returns because of the resale safety issue of the products. Even though the bottle caps may be sealed, the stoppers bulbs are soft rubber thus not tamper proof; and oils and ointments are not sealed. Returns would have to be disposed of and that would be wasteful and not respectful of the plants medicine. Thanks everyone. Note: The above information is for educational purposes only.
