Materia Medica Lesson 7-16: Hyocayamus, Henbane

 In the same category a Datura.... sedative, deadens pain.... too much will make you batcrap crazy! Topically good for pain. Like Datura, it causes hallucinations and delusions... but, generally not the hippie, trippy, happy type... more like nightmares, but you are awake.... so, you can't wake up and make them stop. Smoking it can help with asthma and make you a little buzzed. I've read that Bittersweet is in the same family, but more mild... so you can use it as you intend with out getting a bit too much and howling at the moon.

HYOCYAMUS NIGER (Henbane) FLOWERING TOP. Tincture [Fresh Herb, 1:2, Dry Herb, 1:5, 50% alcohol] 3-10 drops to 3X a day. Standard Infusion topically for pain. USE WITH CARE. STATUS : W/A
