Hyoscyamus niger
Black Henbane
Solanaceae
It is listed as an annual in most
Materia's but we have found that at least two seasons are
more likely to pass before the plant does.
Once you get past the prophetic and occult
use of the plant, it's real strengths become evident. Once
used as a sedative and painkiller, it's use is now often
restricted but where and by whom we have been unable to
establish.
We have found it quite easy to propagate
and it's only problem in the garden are the beetles and
their lavae that like to make a feast of most of the
solanaceae family.

The alkaloid 'hyoscine' is used in many medicines to reduce
muscle tension and aid suffers of Parkinson's Disease.
Once again, our primary use of the plant is homeopathic and
apart from everything else, it's lovely to have in the
garden.
