The efficacy and function of Datura stramonium

1. Datura can be a landscape plant

Before the toxicity of this flower is discovered, we can still plant it in places where people gather, such as courtyards and parks. Its white flowers can emit a light fragrance, which is pleasing to the eye.

2. How to correctly identify Datura stramonium

The beautiful and poisonous Datura japonica seems to have a sense of mystery, so we should correctly identify it. The specific physical characteristics of this flower are as follows: the leaves have long petioles, the leaf sequence is alternate, oblong, and the margins are entire; the flowers are single, axillary, and drooping; they bloom at night, the calyx is tubular, with 5 lobes at the tip, the corolla is trumpet-shaped, white, and about ten centimeters; there are 5 stamens, the ovary has 2 chambers, and the fruit is a capsule, cylindrical and conical.

3. Datura can act as an anesthetic

The flower contains special alkaloids, which can act as analgesics and anesthetics in pharmacology. However, it must not be eaten, as its strong toxicity can even cause suffocation. And this flower is not the same as the Datura we usually talk about.
