Wild lettuce is a relaxing and sedative herb, valued for its ability to promote sleep, ease restlessness, and reduce anxiety. This nervine herb is also used to help with insomnia and muscular arthritis.  
 
Warning: Consuming large amounts may cause slowed breathing, sweating, rapid heartbeat, pupil dilation, dizziness, ringing in the ears, or vision changes. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately. Avoid using wild lettuce if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have narrow-angle glaucoma, or are allergic to related plants like ragweed. Use with caution and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
