Sorry if I'm repeating myself - probably posted this - before but don't each TOO much lettuce in one sitting. Not only are they a mild diuretic but they also have a slight tranquillizing effect. When my son was a very lively toddler our hippy-ish GP recommended giving him lettuce at teatime. Yeah, right...  Apparently, the Romans used lettuce as a cure for insomnia! "Lettuce is an effective green herbal remedy for depression. Since it has magnesium, chrome and folic acids, this plant has perfect relaxing, calming and soporific properties. In ancient Egypt and Rome, eating lettuce after all meals was a very common practice to stimulate sleep. Lettuce sap contains lactucarium, which has slight effects of opium and can calm down anxiety, nervousness, hyperactivity, arthritis pains and cough. In folk medicine, lettuce is used for its diuretic, anodyne, hypoglycaemic, carminative, sedative, emollient and other therapeutic properties." from - guide2herbalremedies.com/lettuce/ |
