Dhatura – Indian Herbs
HSN CODE: 12099990
Datura, also known as Jimsonweed or Devil’s snare, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Known for its large, trumpet-shaped flowers and distinctive spiky seed pods, Datura species contain potent alkaloids such as scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine, which have both medicinal and toxic properties. Historically used in traditional medicine for its hallucinogenic and pain-relieving effects, Datura is also infamous for its toxicity, posing significant risks if ingested without proper preparation and dosage control.
Dhatura Benefits and Uses:
- Traditional Medicine: In controlled and highly diluted forms, Datura stramonium has been historically used in traditional medicine for its antispasmodic and pain-relieving properties. It has been used to treat conditions such as asthma, cough, and muscle spasms.
- Psychoactive Properties: Due to its hallucinogenic effects, Datura stramonium has been used in certain cultures for spiritual and ceremonial purposes. However, this is extremely dangerous and can lead to severe poisoning and even death.
- Asthma Treatment: Historically, Datura stramonium has been smoked to alleviate symptoms of asthma and respiratory distress, although this practice is highly discouraged due to its toxic effects.
- Insecticidal Properties: Certain preparations of Datura stramonium have been used as insecticides to control pests in agriculture, but again, this use is not recommended due to the plant's toxicity to humans and animals.
- Anesthesia: In some historical contexts, extracts from Datura stramonium have been used as a local anesthetic for minor surgical procedures, though safer alternatives are now preferred.
- Cultural Uses: In various cultures, Datura stramonium has symbolic and ritualistic significance, though its use is often associated with cautionary tales due to its toxic nature.
