Wild Lettuce & California Poppy Alcohol-Free Drops

This is an alcohol-free liquid extract (glycerite) of two herbs extracted together in equal parts. The blend is named for its two ingredients; it is a traditional herbal product, not a capsule. Both herbs can cause drowsiness - please read the safety information below before use.

  • Wild lettuce herb - Lactuca virosa herb (Asteraceae)
  • California poppy, aerial parts - Eschscholzia californica flowering herb (Papaveraceae; not the opium poppy - contains no opiates)
  • Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite - liquid drops. Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin, purified water
  • Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.

What is in the blend

  • Wild lettuce - a tall, bitter wild relative of garden lettuce, native to Europe. Its milky sap dries into lactucarium, nicknamed "lettuce opium" in nineteenth-century herbals; the nickname is folklore - it contains no opioid compounds.
  • California poppy - the golden-orange state flower of California; the whole flowering herb is used. It belongs to the poppy family but is not the opium poppy and contains no opium.

Why the alcohol-free drops

The two dried herbs are extracted together in vegetable glycerin and purified water, so there is no ethanol in the bottle - the version to choose if you avoid alcohol. Glycerin gives the drops a mild, naturally sweet taste that softens the bitterness of wild lettuce.

What is a glycerite?

A glycerite is a liquid herbal extract made with vegetable glycerin instead of alcohol. Glycerin is a clear, naturally sweet liquid from plant oils; it extracts and preserves the water-soluble parts of the herbs. Because glycerin is a weaker preservative than alcohol, keep the bottle refrigerated after opening. The glycerin and water percentages are printed on the label.

How to use

Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water, juice or tea and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. It may cause drowsiness - do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you, and do not combine it with alcohol. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period printed on the label.

Drops or tincture?

If you prefer the classic alcohol-based extract with the longest shelf life at room temperature, the same two-herb blend is available as Wild Lettuce & California Poppy Tincture - the alcohol-based version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.

Important safety information - please read before use

Both herbs in this blend can cause drowsiness. Please read before use.

  • Drowsiness: do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you. Do not combine with alcohol, sedatives, sleep medicines or other products that slow the nervous system - the effects add up.
  • Serving: do not exceed the label serving. Large amounts of wild lettuce have caused poisoning, with symptoms such as dry mouth, dilated pupils, dizziness, rapid heartbeat and difficulty urinating. If these occur, stop and seek medical advice.
  • Pregnancy / nursing: do not use.
  • Surgery: stop use at least two weeks before scheduled surgery or anesthesia.
  • Allergies: wild lettuce is a daisy-family (Asteraceae) plant - avoid if you are allergic to ragweed, daisies or chrysanthemums.
  • Age: not for children.
  • If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Wild Lettuce & California Poppy Tincture?
Wild Lettuce & California Poppy is a two-herb liquid blend: wild lettuce herb (Lactuca virosa) and California poppy aerial parts (Eschscholzia californica), extracted together in equal parts in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water. It is a traditional herbal tincture, not a capsule. Both herbs are also sold on their own. It is a botanical product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Please read the safety note below: this blend can cause drowsiness and is not suitable for everyone.
What is the difference between the tincture and the alcohol-free drops?
Both contain the same two herbs in the same proportions; only the extraction liquid differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water - the classic method with the longest shelf life at room temperature and a sharper, bitter herbal taste. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, milder and naturally sweet, for those who avoid alcohol. Choose whichever suits you; the safety notes apply to both.
Is this an opium product? What is lactucarium?
No. California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) belongs to the poppy family but is not the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum): it contains no opium and no opiates such as morphine or codeine. Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) is a tall bitter lettuce of the daisy family whose milky sap dries into lactucarium, historically nicknamed "lettuce opium"; the nickname is folklore - lactucarium contains no opioid compounds. Both herbs are legal, traditional botanicals. If you have questions about how they may affect you, ask a qualified healthcare practitioner.
How do I use Wild Lettuce & California Poppy Tincture?
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. It may cause drowsiness - do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you, and do not combine it with alcohol. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight, and keep out of reach of children.
