Wild lettuce is one of the common names of Lactucavirosa – a biennial flowering plant from the sunflower family Asteraceae. The species is related to common lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and its tree looks similar to that of prickly lettuce. However, it grows much higher – up to 7 feet, and is also stouter. Wild lettuce is also known as bitter lettuce, great lettuce, tall lettuce, and opium lettuce.

In accent Egypt, wild lettuce was given to new mothers to increase breast milk production. But, in the early 19th century, the plant was found to have opium-like properties, minus the side effects, and has been primarily used for pain relief and induce/improve sleep ever since. It was also used for severe cough and to support and improve digestion.

I ordered a bottle in good faith that I could trust this company and this product. Not so! It did not work for me. I was really bummed. I have tried several times to contact them for a refund. They won't get back to me.
