I have no idea what the effects of these poisonous plants would be if ingested, although I seem to recall that belladonna has hallucinogenic properties. |
Medicines like silver nitrate, belladonna, chalk powder and peppermint water were used extensively. |
And belladonna in higher doses is poisonous, and was employed by poisoners over the centuries. |
Although a small benefit has been found from the combination of belladonna and phenobarbital, concern over adverse effects and possible addiction problems has limited its use. |
You may not be able to take belladonna, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. |
Two of the most popular and better known are arnica and belladonna. |
