Hyoscyamus Niger-Henbane Seeds
Henbane is an annual to biennial with distinguishing hairy, toothed leaves and greenish to yellowish flowers with dark purple veins  that almost appear black.  Originally from Eurasia, it is now found throughout the world and is most commonly grown as an ornamental or  landscaping plant.  Henbane, like several other nightshades, has a long history of use as a medicinal and a poison, and it is still grown  commercially for medicinal use in some parts of the world.  Like its cousins, belladonna and datura, henbane was a common ingredient in witches’ brews.  Containing the toxic alkaloids hyoscyamine and scopolamine, henbane was used as a poison at least since the Middle Ages.  This type of poisoning, which can take place even after ingesting a small amount of plant or seed matter, can have symptoms such as increased  salivation, headache, nausea, convulsions, hallucinations, stupor, coma and death.   Ironically, henbane was once used as a flavoring in German pilsner beers until the German government stepped in and banned it as an ingredient.  Henbane use has also been documented  in a variety of other cultures including the Arabs, Ancient Greeks and in Tibetan medicine.  It was also used as an admixture to the  hallucinogenic brews of certain South American Indians.  As a medicinal, it has mild pain relieving abilities, antispasmodic activity and causes pupil dilation.  Based on such actions, it has been reportedly used for a list of conditions including toothaches, epilepsy, cough, asthma, and Parkinson’s Disease.  One source also reports that placing the dried leaves around a house will help drive away mice.

Foxglove-Digitalis purpurea seeds for sale

Digitalis purpurea plants

Bot. name: Digitalis purpurea
Family: Scrophulariaceae (Figwort Family)

The Digitalis purpurea-Foxglove is a widely used herbal medicine with a recognised stimulatory effect upon the heart. It is also used in allopathic medicine in the treatment of heart complaints. It has a profound tonic effect upon a diseased heart, enabling the heart to beat more slowly, powerfully and regularly without requiring more oxygen. At the same time it stimulates the flow of urine which lowers the volume of the blood and lessens the load on the heart. The plant contains cardiac glycosides (including digoxin, digitoxin and lanatosides). Digitoxin rapidly strengthens the heartbeat but is excreted very slowly. Digoxin is therefore preferred as a long-term medication. The leaves are cardiac, diuretic, stimulant and tonic. The leaves should only be harvested from plants in their second year of growth, picked when the flowering spike has grown and about two thirds of the flowers have opened. Harvested at other times, there is less of the medically active alkaloid present. The seed has also been used in the past. The leaves also have a very beneficial effect on the kidneys, they are strongly diuretic and are used with benefit in the treatment of dropsy. Great care should be exercised in the use of this plant, the therapeutic dose is very close to the lethal dose. See also the notes above on toxicity. A homeopathic remedy is made from the leaves. It is used in the treatment of cardiac disorders.
