When I'm outdoors, my eyes scan the ground and rather than seeing weeds, my mind instantly catalogues plants into food, medicine, or toxic.

For instance: "dock- edible, and medicinal for liver and endocrine detox. foxglove- toxic, synthesized into heart medicine, but in its natural form, it will stop your heart. kinnickinnick- also known as uva ursi or bearberry- medicinal for the urinary tract, bile ducts, source of vitamin c. Edible, but not pleasant to eat". And other things like that.

I don't do it at will, it's sort of subconscious. And it's constant, like a little encyclopedia, a running commentary within my mind of food and medicine, everywhere.

I've heard that wild lettuce was old pain killer, perhaps it's what I should try.
I found many natural remedies didn't help either like tea-tree it wasn't cure for everything, so say vinegar is better for head-lice treatment. Maybe just that it seemed ineffective due to using wrong herbs.
Do you have any suggestions on how to prepare dried wild lettuce to store as pain-killer?
