Making Wild Lettuce Pain Medicine

I feed my rabbits wild lettuce. They love it and are very chilled afterwards. 🎉

I love the detailed comparison. Thank you so much! Ah and ignore the negative comments , they are just unhappy people .

Deep appreciation for your presentation and knowledge from an Egyptian! 🇪🇬👍

With my weed, I use a hydraulic press. It eliminates all of the process used here. The 'Chips' left over we just throw in our compost. I will try the press on this plant type and see what I get. Be well . Happy Hunting everyone.

Thank you for the video because I do believe that stuff is in the yard😂😂

Hello--thank you for the great video! You have a wonderful way of presenting your information and don't drag things out too far, so I'm subbing. I have severe osteoarthritis in my hips and knees, and the powers that be are making it ever increasingly difficult for me to get the pain meds I sometimes CANNOT do without. So, I've decided to skirt that issue and make some of this to help myself. Your video is the best one I've seen so far, and I'll be using your method.

Intesting. I grew up in Alaska and as a boy we saw a lot of fireweed. Being secluded we had little contact with people. This hampered education. Six years of war messed me up but I think you've helped me às well as those who follow your podcast. Good life to you. 😊

I have severe pain from fibromyalga so I just went outside found a bunch & I'm gonna try to fix me some pain meds. Will let u know how it turns out. Thanks again

I thought it was very good video and very easily understood step-by-step instructions. I'm not sure why anybody would think it was complicated other than just getting bored by the many steps that it does take to do it properly. It is a long process but that's what makes medicine

Thank you. I've not done this in alcohol. I have made oil to apply locally on the body for joint and muscle pain. I slowly heat up the oil several times with the lettuce in it strain chill and use. Now I have learned from you a different way to extract it.

I thought we were supposed to harvest as soon as it starts to flower- before flowers emerge. There are so many different techniques! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much for the lesson. How long did it take in the crock before it got tarry? I dry my forage harvest hanging upside down from string. It dries in my airconditioned home within a week. I just finished up two half gallon jars filled as you showed on the video today except using Everclear. I love the crockpot idea, and i'll probably use that this time, tho I only have high low and warm, so I'll put some water in there and test the temp of each before using the crock. I also have a double boiler I can use, but you have to really keep an eye on those. I've heard Lactuca Virosa wild letuce is the most potent, but I think it depends on the varieties that grow in any particular area. For the commenter who said "it's no better than Tylenol" there are so many variations and ways of preparation, different varieties of wild lettuce and (most importantly) time of harvest that that isn't a universal statement, and I don't give it much credence. I've always read that harvesting right as it has the tiny yellow flowers makes the most potent bc the plant is sending all its energy to the top. I think potency depends on so many different conditions. That person may have allowed it to get to boiling, or harvested at the wrong time. This is more an art than a science, but you're video was quite thorough and gave this forager a couple new tricks. Thank you!

Best wild lettuce video I've seen!

Thank You so much you two ‼️❤️

Thank you so very much for this information. It’s very thorough and now I’m confident that I can identify it.

Thank you for sharing this! Also, I love that stove with the wall of cast iron in the background.

I ran across your channel today and i love it ty for sharing with us

Thank you for the amazing video. Came across your channel today and subscribed immediattely❤

Very well done and informative. I have tons of wild lettuce here. Hope to build my playlist on my processing in the near future. Preparing to dehydrate a bunch very soon for tincture making later. I did the tar method once. Liked it but find tincture dropper bottles work best for me. Subscribed.😊

Thank y’all so very much! We need this knowledge! It’s imperative!
