    Beautiful opium poppies. They have medicinal properties in helping to block the pain receptors in the brain from feeling extreme and agonising pain in patients who are suffering with from various medical problems.

    Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade)

    Atropa belladonna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae, which includes tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant (aubergine).

    It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Its distribution extends from Great Britain in the west to western Ukraine and the Iranian province of Gilan in the east. It is also naturalised or introduced in some parts of Canada and the United States.

    The foliage and berries are extremely toxic when ingested, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which cause delirium and hallucinations, and are also used as pharmaceutical anticholinergics. These tropane alkaloids appear to be common in the family Solanaceae, as they are also present in plants of the genera Brugmansia, Datura and Hyoscyamus, of the same family but in different subfamilies and tribes than the nightshade.

    Atropa belladonna has unpredictable effects. The antidote for belladonna poisoning is physostigmine or pilocarpine, the same as for atropine.

    It has a long history of use as a medicine, cosmetic, and poison. Before the Middle Ages, it was used as an anesthetic for surgery; the ancient Romans used it as a poison — the Roman empresses Livia Drusilla and Agrippina the Younger both were rumoured to have used it for murder; and, predating this, it was used to make poison-tipped arrows.

    The genus name Atropa comes from Atropos ("unable to be turned aside"), one of the three Fates from Greek mythology, who cut the thread of life after her sisters had spun and measured it. The name belladonna is derived from Italian for "beautiful woman", as during the Renaissance, the herb was used in eyedrops by women to dilate the pupils of the eyes to make them appear seductive.
