My wife’s dr had her on percocet for her pain . I did a lot of research and I started her on wild lettuce ….in about 2 weeks she was off both and hasn’t taken or needed anything since . That was about 5 years ago. Wild lettuce is a thistle type weed that likely grows in your yard. Like I said …a lot of research …and I’m not saying it will work for everyone. But it has been used for pain for centuries. There was no side effects or withdrawal.
Usually what I use for me to take care of many things is dandelion root tea….sinus, sleep, aches and minor pains , digestion.
There are many “weeds” that grow in your yard that are faaaar more helpful than the drugs Dr’s prescribe ….with no side effects. With the dandelion, you can use the whole plant. One of our favorite snacks is the yellow flower fried using pancake batter. I consider it a super food. Funny thing is most people try to get rid of these “weeds” from their yards. Dandelion twa is really good tasting too if you’ve never tried it before , you ought to, you can buy it. Only bad thing with buying stuff though is that they usually add stuff to it that you don’t want.
Just remember…do a lot of research and start with small doses. Have to make sure to get the correct plant , prepare it correctly and make sure your not allergic ( small dose at first, then wait several hour)
