Newest TikTok Trend: Drinking Lettuce Water to Help You Sleep

By bondsy Jun 21, 2021 | 6:01 AM

Here’s a new health tip from TikTok with zero science to back it up:  People online claim that drinking LETTUCE WATER can help you sleep.

You basically just make tea.  But instead of a tea bag, you shove some iceberg lettuce in a cup . . . pour hot water on it . . . and let it steep for 10 minutes.  And you can add a peppermint tea bag for taste if you want to.

A TikTok video about it has millions of views.  And the woman who posted it claims it worked REALLY well.  But a sleep expert at Columbia University says it sounds like nonsense.  And if it works at all, it’s probably a placebo effect.
