Can't sleep? Feeling stressed? Overwhelmed? Don't go beyond the produce aisle in your local grocery store!
Get a lettuce, any lettuce; Iceberg (or Crisphead), Romaine, Butterhead or Leaf, all are good.
You can make tea with the leaves and drink a cup or two and prepare for a wonderful night of sleep or long nap. Simple: Put two cups of water in a small pot, bring to a boil, drop two leaves of lettuce and turn off the heat. Wait 5 minutes and drink.
Even better, make a lettuce core salad... separate leaves from core and chop in little pieces, add lime juice, a bit of olive oil and salt, perfect for a snack (it will not be a big salad!).
Add lettuce to your salads and whenever you see a leaf, eat it! You will never regret it.
Many years ago, a very dear lady told me that the lettuce was know as the "body's broom". Try it, results are evident.
