here we have some wild lettuce at the garden. They always look very crunchy and juicy, but I believe they require cooking. I'm also told that geese like them. Let us be grateful about having abundant veggies to eat in peaceful time.

Wild lettuce (Lactuca), left and milk thistle (Sonchus), right, growing next to each other. I see people confusing these two plants with each other on social media all the time. Both of them are plants in the dandelion family, with yellow dandelion like flowers that turn into white blowballs. and both of them have similarly lobed prickly leaves. And both of them grow in flowerbeds, gardens, cracks in pavement, and similar places where the wind might carry their seeds. . . Sow thistle gets an earlier start, and right now it is in bloom and wild lettuce isn’t, where i live; but later on, both of them can be found at all stages of their growth, through a big chunk of the summer. . . One thing you might notice, especially at this stage, is that all the lettuce leaves are flat and sort of neatly together. The sow thistle leaves, by contrast, are more three dimensional, have longer prickly bits, and face in all different directions. Also notice that the wild lettuce has a distinctive line of prickles along the underside of the leaf’s central rib. In sow thistle that is absent, and the midrib itself is often purple. On the whole, sow thistle tends to be less leafy than lettuce, and the bases of its leaves sort of curl around the stem. . . Medicinally, wild lettuce is a sedative and pain reliever (see my youtube video on the subject for details). The sow thistle i don’t use medicinally, but i have used its milky sap to curdle milk. . . . #wildlettuce #plantmedicine #weeds #herbs #herbal #urbanhomestead #medicinalplants https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3iIaoFzCk/?igshid=jfovv8ptjt4v

The fourth card of the Tarot is associated with Aries. This is the structure action takes, authority and leadership. It’s idea manifested into form. It could represent an employer, a parental or political figure. It might also be natural law/physics. It’s a strongly masculine energy, linked with fire. It might suggest drive, agency and power, or could be a feeling of subordination to a person or system. It’s a need for desire, clarity, firmness and dedication to a goal. Be confident and act, but strategically, with economy. There’s a foundation to build upon and the resources required to do so are present. The fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Daleth, can mean movement or enter.

Wild Lettuce is a symbol of tenacity. It’s linked to Saturn (cool + dry/joints, bones, skin, gallbladder). It can provide pain relief from migraines and menstrual cramps, has sedative properties, relaxes the body, treats insomnia and anxiety, counters asthma and bronchitis.

Dane Rudhyar, born Daniel Chennevière (March 23, 1895 – September 13, 1985), was a French-born American author, modernist composer, transcendental painter, and humanistic astrologer. He was a pioneer of modern transpersonal astrology.

Most of Rudhyar’s more than forty books and hundreds of articles concern astrology and spirituality. The book that established his reputation in the astrological field was his first on the subject, The Astrology of Personality (1936). Arguing that astrology is not essentially predictive but rather productive of intuitive insights, The Astrology of Personality was one of the most influential tracts of “free-will” astrology,  despite being written in the dense, circuitous style that characterizes much of Rudhyar’s writing. Rudhyar’s astrological works were influential in the New Age movement of the 1960s and 1970s, especially among the hippies of San Francisco, where he lived and gave frequent lectures. Rudhyar regarded the ‘true early hippies’ as potential harbingers of a New Age.  In 1967 the scene reached its peak in the Summer of Love in San Francisco. Most notably, Dane Rudhyar predicted in 1972 that the Age of Aquarius would begin in 2062.

The benefits of Peppermint and Spearmint Tea are pretty widely known but I’ll help you remember them. They are really good for your belly. If you have an upset tummy, a cup of hot Peppermint or Spearmint Tea will do the trick. 

Peppermint Tea is often used for common cold symptoms and inflammations in the mouth, throat and sinuses. But It is also used for digestive problems including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, morning sickness, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), cramps of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and bile ducts, upset stomach, diarrhea, bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine, and gas.*

Spearmint Tea also has many of the same benefits, especially the digestive ones. 

BUT did you know that adding small amounts of wild lettuce can help by calming you. According to WebMD, “Wild lettuce is used 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 in cough preparations.”

However WebMD cautions, “ Wild lettuce seems safe for most people in small amounts. Large amounts, however, can slow breathing and might cause death.”

At Communi-Tea, we sell Peppermint, Spearmint and Wild Lettuce at $7.00 an ounce. 

Herbal remedies can seem harmless and for the most part, they are. But there are interactions which may exacerbate your condition or quite possibly cause death. As always, consult a physician before you take any medicine, herbal or big pharma.
