  • Shakespeare was the first to depict witches riding on a broom, but their usage of mandrake ( Mandragora officinarum ) and jimsonweed ( Datura stramonium ) far outdates even The Bard. (tripsitter.com)
  • Datura Stramonium L. - Named by Carl Linnaeus as published in Species Plantarum (1753). (findmeacure.com)
  • Datura stramonium is also called jimsonweed. (findmeacure.com)
  • Stramonium is, in fact, so similar to belladonna in the symptoms produced by it in small or large doses, in its toxicity and its general physiological and therapeutic action, that the two drugs are practically identical, and since they are about the same strength in activity, the preparations may be used in similar doses. (findmeacure.com)
  • Stramonium has been employed in all the conditions for which belladonna is more commonly used, but acts much more strongly on the respiratory organs, and has acquired special repute as one of the chief remedies for spasmodic asthma, being used far more as the principal ingredient in asthma powders and cigarettes than internally.
