Key ideas in Wild Lettuce Medicine at Home
- Wild lettuce has a distinct row of prickly spines along the central vein on the underside of the leaf
- Dandelions grow in basal rosettes and do not have tall, spine-lined stalks
- The milky sap, or lactucarium, contains the active medicinal compounds
- A plant that does not 'bleed' white sap when scratched is past its prime or low in potency
- Distinguishing wild lettuce from common lookalikes based on leaf structure
- The purpose and execution of the scratch test for potency
- Wild lettuce is unique for having spines specifically on the underside midrib
- Dandelions lack the tall branching stem of wild lettuce
- Mapping physical characteristics to the correct plant identification
- Medicine is locked inside the fibrous stalks and needs surface area to escape
- Without a press, you rely entirely on the solvent's ability to passively soak into the plant material
- Over-packing prevents the liquid from circulating around the plant material
- The plant material needs enough space to stay fully submerged without 'suffocating' the extraction
- Why fine chopping is necessary for extraction without a press
- The ideal packing density for the jar
- Chopping must happen before packing to ensure even distribution
