Datura
A nightshade with a trumpet flower and spiny seed pods. Historically used, and historically deadly. This card is identification and caution, not a recipe.
This prototype offers educational plant guidance only and does not replace medical care. Check with a qualified professional before using herbs or supplements, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition, or are choosing something for a child or pet.
Benefits and traditional uses
- Plant identification
- A reminder that not every healing-looking flower is kind
- Traditional use exists — safe home use does not
Several Datura species appear in Indigenous American and later folk histories as powerful, dangerous plants. That history is not an invitation to brew the seeds.
Precautions
- All parts can be toxic. Hallucination, fever, and death are documented.
- This is not a sleep plant, a pain plant, or a ritual DIY.
Prepare
Do not prepare this plant as tea, smoke, or food. There is no beginner dose.
Dosage
Dosage is not provided in this prototype. A later sourced record can sit here. Do not treat any number on this site as a prescription.
Grow
If you grow it as an ornamental, keep seeds away from children and pets. Gloves for handling are wise.
