So, what is belladonna?
Belladonna, also known as "deadly nightshade," is a plant species native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Its glossy black berries and bell-shaped flowers have been used in herbal medicine for centuries, but its leaves and roots contain potent toxins that can be fatal when ingested. Belladonna has been used medicinally as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and sedative. In small doses, it has been used to treat ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, and gastrointestinal issues. However, due to its toxicity, it is highly regulated and should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. In cooking, belladonna is never used due to its potential toxicity.
