💤SEDATIVE PROPERTIES:
Hydro-alcoholic extracts were prepared from varieties of commercial lettuces, and its sleep-prolonging effect was examined. Lactucin and lacucopicrin, are known to be responsible for the sleep-inducing effects (Kim et al., 2017).
📚CLINICAL TRIAL FOR SLEEP ENHANCEMENT:
100 pregnant women with insomnia aged 20-45 years were assigned to receive capsules containing 1000 mg of lettuce seed or a placebo daily for two weeks.
The findings of this study suggest that lettuce seed decreased insomnia during pregnancy and could be recommended as a safe natural remedy for treatment of pregnancy-related insomnia (Safaripour et al., 2018). This is not medical advice.
💥TAKEAWAY:
Consuming large amounts of wild lettuce before bed may help relax the mind, with mild sedative properties. Further evidence supports the use of Lettuce Seed Oil for promoting sleep. “Food as medicine”
