For the plant’s wider background, read our Wild Lettuce Herbal Information.

3. The botanical behind the tincture

Our herb guide discusses lactucin, lactucopicrin and flavonoids in Wild Lettuce. Information about plant chemistry is not a promise about this product’s effects.

No measured amount of any individual constituent is stated for this tincture. Its 1:2 preparation ratio is not a measurement of those constituents or a statement of standardised constituent content. Research on other preparations should not be assumed to apply to this finished tincture.

4. Why leaves, aerial parts and latex?

These are the plant materials selected for this Home Herbs preparation. Aerial parts describes above-ground plant material, and latex refers to the milky sap described in our herb guide. No relative proportions of these materials are stated here.

Identifying the material clarifies what is extracted; it does not imply therapeutic superiority. Different plant materials should not be treated as interchangeable product descriptions.

5. A single-herb tincture

Wild Lettuce is the only herbal ingredient, rather than a blend of herbs. The latex is material from the same plant, not a second herb. Alcohol and water form the extraction liquid.

Ingredients:

  • Organic wild lettuce, using leaves, aerial parts and latex
  • Organic gluten-free alcohol
  • Filtered spring water

6. Understanding the 1:2 ratio

Home Herbs Organic Wild Lettuce Tincture is prepared at a 1:2 ratio, as are all Home Herbs tinctures. This describes one part herbal starting material in relation to two parts extraction liquid, according to the production method.

This ratio describes preparation, not dosage or alcohol percentage. It does not prove that a tincture is stronger, better or more effective than one prepared at another ratio.
