I just had to try it!
As you can see according to WebMD there are many reasons to see it works. Pain was my utmost reason. Although, I later found out it helps me sleep better too.
I also suffer from chronic bronchial issues and urinary tract one's (I'm an agent orange baby). So this wild growing remedy is absolutely a must have in this household!
The first time I tried it I was in a complete state of joy.
For the first time in years; the pain in my legs was taken away! No narcotic has ever taken the pain away. It has however "masked" it. Then you add to it the benefits of preventing whooping cough and stopping insomnia? WHAT? (hehe)
Grateful for this free plant based pain killer!
It was absolutely a blessing to me! For this reason I had to share it with you.
To make it is really easy:
Follow these instructions:
NEVER ALLOW THE PLANT TO GET TO HOT. BOILING (EVEN A ROLLING BOIL) KILLS IT'S MEDICINAL PROPERTIES.
First collect about 50 leaves
Cut those leaves up as finally as you can get them. If you have a food processor. I suggest you use that. Each time I've done so I've got so much more out of the plant.
Put all the cut up leaves into a pan. Fill that pan with water about halfway covering up the leaves. Heat just enough that it is hot but not boiling. (once it's been on for awhile and the water warms you can push all the leaves down into the water)
REMEMBER DO NOT LET IT BOIL. Just get the water hot up to the point where it steams. Let that simmer for around 45 minutes.
Remove the lettuce from the heat.
Let it cool down to room temperature.
Get a large bowl or another container that you can put a stocking over and pour the lettuce with water into the stocking allowing the water to accumulate in bowl. Squeeze the stocking with the lettuce in it. Squeeze as hard as you can until you can get nothing out of the lettuce.
Empty the stocking and clean it for another use!
Take the dark brown water and place it on the burner again and let the water burn off. Now remember, I said NEVER LET IT BOIL. So when I say "burn" off. I'm meaning evaporate. Allow the mixture to sit until it turns into a paste. Keep in mind. As the water evaporates and is less in the pan the temperature will need to be adjusted so that it does not boil.
Once there is a syrup like paste left. You take a bottle of vodka (around a pint) and pour it into the syrup. Mix that until it's smooth and can be funneled into a bottle for use at a later time.
I'm never able to keep any around. So I can't tell you how long it will last. However, there are tons of YOUTUBE video's to view at your discretion that may be more knowledgeable.
If you have any of problems listed on screenshot of ailments wild lettuce is known to treat try this remedy today! I've found too many benefits and it would be a shame if you couldn't enjoy them too!
