Hierba de lechuga silvestre

La lechuga salvaje (lactuca virosa) también es conocida por lechuga silvestre, o hierba de opio. Proviene de Europa Central y Europa del Sur y del noreste asiático. La hierba actua semejantemente al opio, pero sin efectos secundarios.

Efectos

La lechuga salvaje es usada por sus efectos calmantes y relajantes. Actua semejantemente al opio, pero sin efectos secundarios. Es un remedio valioso contra la insomnia, nerviosismo y exitación (especialmente en niños) y otras manifestaciones de un sistema nervioso hiperactivo. Como antiespasmódico, puede ser usada como parte de un tratamiento holístico para la tos en general. Alivia las cólicas en los intestinos y en el útero y por eso se puede usarlo en caso de dismenorrea. Alivia las dolores musculares relacionadas con el reumatismo. También se puede usarlo como afrodisíaco.

Uso

La lechuga salvaje puede ser bebida en té: pon 1 a 2 cuchillas de té en una taza con agua hirviendo y deja embeber durante 10-15 minutos. Bebe tres veces al día.

Otro método es preparar un extracto. Remoja 100 gramos de lechuga salvaje durante 8 horas en agua caliente no hirviendo. Filtra y escurre todo el líquido de la lechuga salvaje. Coloca el líquido oscuro en una panela y déjalo evaporar. Pon la panela en una panela mayor con agua hirviendo para evitar que la lechuga se queme al secar. Lo que queda es una especie de pasta que puede ser usada como opio.

Para la tos seca puedes mezclarla con raíz de cereza salvaje. Para insomnias mezcla con valeriana y flor de pascua (euforbia pulcherrima).

Aviso

Cuidado con la dosis; tests revelaron que en animales pequeños incluso pequeñas overdosis pueden ser (muy) venenosas.

“For 20+ years I have had pain and couldn't use Aspirin (makes my ears ring), Tylenol(hurts my liver), Midol(hurts my kidneys) or any of the other over the counter pain killers are problems for me. I think it's just man-made anything

Sorry, I am not interested in any high, life is too important and don't want to mess it up. I suffer from constant pain, and yeah I think it would be great to get high, but getting paranoid on pot 30+ years ago cured me from ever trying it again.

I have been looking at herbs and alternative medicine for answers all these years. I knew eating the stem of regular Lettuce had a very mild effect on calming me. Then a couple of Wild Lettuce plants were growing in my garden. I looked it up and it seems to match my needs for a pain killer. It helps with joint pain and I have allot of arthritis in my back and body.
I started reading every link I could find on the web, it can be poisonous at high level.

I ate some of the seeds on the plant and wasn't sure if it did anything. That night my allergies were set off, I think it was from eating the Wild Lettuce seeds (I found this out after reading that it was a common symptom from eating any part of the plant because it's related to ragweed).

Today, I harvested several more plants from my neighbour's yard and I ate the smaller tender flower buds. I ate maybe 20 or more, I really didn't think it was going to effect me that much. Then I noticed a mild calmness and smooth ease of movement, yeah a little floaty. My constant back pain was gone. But I could feel my heart slow down and even felt stronger. I got a slight sweat and could feel my circulation increase as if my vains and arteries opened. But my ears were ringing a little more then usual. Most of it has lasted 2+ hours. Easy to think and flow with this, but causes a slight decrease in judgement (bummer I'll have to use it at home). Maybe like alcohol but no dopiness.”

“I made tea with this herb as was prescribed on the package. Because it did'nt work for me, I made some more tea with a larger dosage. I felt nothing special. Nothing at all.. Tried some more and the rest ended up in de garbage can.

I'm wondering to try on some Kratom. Maybe that will have more (or at least) some effect...”
