Preparation:
- Steep for 10–15 minutes
- Strain, then drink slowly, preferably in the evening
One serving per day is enough to observe how your body reacts.
Harvesting at home: yes, but carefully
If you want to collect the plant yourself:
- Prefer young leaves before flowering
- Wear gloves, as the stems are slightly spiky
- Rinse thoroughly
- Dry in the shade until the leaves become crisp
What to keep in mind
- Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Do not combine with sedatives or medication without medical advice
- May be suitable for those looking for a natural way to ease daily tension
A plant worth rediscovering
Long considered a useless weed, Lactuca serriola deserves a place in our wellness cabinet. It reflects that natural wisdom our grandparents knew well: simple, accessible, and effective remedies… when used with respect and care.
“Could it be that calm sometimes comes from a simple forgotten blade of grass?”
