Dittrichia revoluta

Dittrichia revoluta, also known as prickly lettuce or wild lettuce, is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region, characterized by its leaves and stems covered in small, sharp prickles.

Traditionally, Dittrichia revoluta has been used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which are attributed to its high content of sesquiterpene lactones and other bioactive compounds.

The medicinal properties of Dittrichia revoluta are said to provide various health benefits, including reducing inflammation, soothing digestive issues, and even acting as a natural antihistamine.

Dittrichia revoluta can be prepared for medicinal use through infusions, decoctions, and tinctures, which can be used to treat a range of health issues, although more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
