Lettuce is a surprisingly useful and tasty herb.

It’s vitamin A rich, which can reduce risk of cataracts. Vitamin A also helps prevent macular degeneration.

The Egyptians didn't consider lettuce as food but rather as a medicinal plant. Lettuce is from the same family as opium poppies and produces a milky sap when cut that has historically been used as a painkiller and sedative.

Wild lettuce was used historically for whooping cough, asthma, urinary tract problems, cough, trouble sleeping (insomnia), restlessness, excitability in children, painful menstrual periods, excessive sex drive in women (nymphomania), muscular or joint pains, poor circulation, swollen genitals in men (priapism), and as an opium substitute.

So, eat more lettuce with dinner, perhaps, for a better sleep.

It’s not meant to be complicated to be well, nor is it meant to be expensive.

"I think your magnesium spray might be the only thing keeping me alive at the end of this pregnancy. If I forget to use it I am up and down to the toilet, severe cramps in my feet and calves and my hands going numb and tingly. I wake up tired and groggy and am foul with my kids. If I use it before bed I sleep like a log and never wake up and I feel more vibrant, my kids get more mum time before baby comes along. It’s such a simple thing but it’s actually changing this whole experience for me. I am going to require this in IV form for the afterpains please""
