Wild Lettuce, commonly referred to as ‘poor man’s opium’ has been used by physicians as far back as 1815 to relieve pain. Wild lettuce contains a milky substance called lactucarium, which is made of lactucin and lactucopicrin. These bitter tasting substances act on the central nervous system to produce pain-relieving effects. While lactucarium may deliver similar effects as opium, it has way fewer side effects and is not addictive. While wild lettuce acts as a sedative and muscle relaxant, it also soothes the respiratory system and relieves muscle and joint pain!
California Poppy is used for trouble sleeping, insomnia, aches, and nervous agitation. It possesses sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects due to the presence of various natural compounds including many alkaloids (alkaloids are chemicals with the ability to directly affect the central nervous system). While in the same family as opium poppy, California poppy is non-narcotic and not addictive. However, it does contain analgesic (pain relieving) properties and helps to regulate the nervous system by working with GABA receptors in the brain. It also acts as a sedative, making this herb perfect for those who have trouble sleeping.
Valerian root is the king of sedative herbs and has been used for centuries to help treat nervous and sleep disorders, such as anxiety and insomnia. Valerian, along with chamomile and lavender, is the most commonly used herb for sleep blends.
Hops, primarily used as a calming agent, is used for conditions that reflect over activation of the nervous system (anxious hyper-vigilance), restlessness, and general nervousness. Clinically, hops is recognized for helping with anxiety related sleep disorders, particularly in those who struggle with waking frequently during the night.
Lavender contains a chemical compound called linalool, which is thought to help reduce and regulate stress. Lavender is also a natural sedative and analgesic, providing mild pain relief.
Feverfew: research suggests that feverfew may help prevent and reduce the frequency of migraine headaches and some of their accompanying symptoms such as: pain, nausea/vomiting, and light sensitivity.
