I thought everyone would get a kick out of knowing what wild lettuce is actually used for in the herbal world.
An androgen is a natural steroid hormone in our bodies. There are high levels of it in our blood when we are developing in our teenage years. Androgen's promote bone growth, they stimulate the sex drive and the immune system.
Androgen's are difficult for the liver to break down so if our body produces too many androgen's many problems occur. High levels do not automatically mean a successful sex life. Sexual frustration leads to depression, loneliness and lethargy.
When our body chemistry gets out of balance because the liver is overloaded other common problems occur, the first is skin eruptions and other skin issues.
You folks do realize I just described a “Lazy, Moody teenager with Acne”?
Yes, there is a herbal cure for a lazy, moody teenager with acne! It’s called wild lettuce! Poke sallet is another good cure for the lazy and moody part. Poke kick starts the liver into high gear so it processes out the androgens more quickly...
There is another common problem caused by high androgen levels in young women. It causes polycystic ovarian syndrome and infertility. I read about a case where the young woman in question got pregnant within 5 days of using wild lettuce. Yes, wild lettuce is useful with infertility caused by ovarian cysts in young women.
Sonya, first, I’m a he not a she… Second, I’m not an herbalist, I’m a wildcrafter. For a few herbalists I hunt wild plants not sold by the big herb companies. Some herbalists live in cities with no access to fresh herbs, I provide.
Third, if you live in a semi-rural area of GA you are already surrounded by 3 species of Sida. Sida rhombifolia, acuta and spinosa. They grow around every barn and shed in the south… A potent antibiotic and hemotoxin blocker. I used Sida when my dog was bitten by a copper head, amazing results. Brown recluse and Black widow spider venom is hemotoxic. The first time I used a plant for medicine was when I was bitten by a Brown recluse spider. No, it wasn’t Sida, yet another plant good for such things. It was early in the year and sida hadn't come up yet... but Plantago virginica or Virginia Plantain, a native species, was everywhere.

Yes it sounds like Peanut really knows her herbs! I am excited to find an herbalist...
This is my first year growing medicinal herbs... including Echinacea Angustifolia, Sida Cordifolia, Ephedra, etc...) .
