Opıum / Wild lettuce tincture

Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa)

Also known as o-pium lettuce, bitter lettuce, wild o-pium, horse thistle, China lettuce and prickly lettuce.

O-pium lettuce, aka Wild lettuce, secretes a milky white ingredient known as lactucarium when it is scratched or cut.

Used in fertility rituals to honor the ancient Egyptian God Min; often added to love potions. Can also be used as a meditation aid to help calm and center the mind and to assist the practitioner on astral journeys and path workings.

This ingredient contains lactucin and lactucopicrin which are bitter substances that act on the central nervous system to produce pain-relieving effects.

According to research, these effects are as strong as o-pium but with fewer side effects.

O-pium is a pain-relieving agent which is commonly used from ancient times. When dried, wild lettuce resembles øÞíum.

Additionally, the lettuce also contains traces of hyoscyamine, which is probably responsible for its sedative effects.

Aside from pain, wild lettuce is also known for its ability to promote numerous health benefits. Listed below are some of them:
