General Info |

Datura
stramonium was traditionally used to relieve asthma
and reduce pain. The fresh warmed leaf may be used as
a poultice to relieve the pain of rheumatism, gout, boils,
abscesses and wounds. The fresh green fruit is sometimes
applied locally for toothache, a sore throat or tonsillitis.
Leafs are rolled up and smoked to relieve asthma and bronchitis.
Extracts have been included in antitussive syrups and
the leaves to treat respiratory difficulties.
The alkaloids are highly toxic and have numerous effects
on a wide range of receptors. Antropine increases the
heart rate, relaxes smooth muscles, decreases saliva,
sweat and other secretions, paralyses certain eye muscles
and increases intra-ocular pressure. At low dosages it
is a depressant and sedative, but high dosages may lead
to hallucinations, mental confusion and insomnia.
Weak Datura infusions are used as hypnotics by the elderly
and as aphrodisiacs by adults. It is either used as a
tea or smoked. |
