Hyoscyamus /Hyos

Formal Name: Hyoscyamus Niger

Also Known As: Hyoscyamus, Common, Black, and Hairy Henbane, Stinking Roger, Stinking Nightshade, Hogs Bean, and Cassilata

Henbane is a plant that was once given as a painkiller centuries ago. However, it was found through time that this plant was toxic to humans, though it continues to be safe for pigs to consume.

It was discovered years back within homeopathy and used primarily for emotional disorders. Through time homeopathy has found that it has uses both for mental and physical symptoms.

Out of this plant the homeopathic remedy of hyoscyamus was born. It is made by using the entire fresh plant just, as it is flowering (including the root).

The plant is then chopped up finely and steeped in alcohol for a period of ten days. After this the mixture if diluted and succussed. The product which remains contains virtually no traces of the plant itself.
