You’re using these herbs which are healing but also poisonous every day. Depending on the dose and way of use, these herbs have different effects.
There are herbs we daily use which in some instances are extremely poisonous. Although when they’re store-bought, they’re carefully prepared to be healing. But when you’re collecting these herbs you should be very careful. You should collect them wearing the necessary equipment, which are gloves and bags. Also, be especially careful when it comes to touching your eyes, mouth and face. It’s not that you could die from touching them, but you could get severe allergic reaction. It is also worth mentioning that some plants only have a few poisonous parts (leaves, fruits). In any case, you should be informed and prepared.
You’re using these herbs which are healing but also poisonous
Belladonna
Belladonna is extremely poisonous, but not whole, only the root. It contains atropine alkaloid in huge amounts and that’s what causes poisonous effects.
Milk snake
This herb is dangerous only if you overdose. You should be informed how to collect and how to consume this herb before using it.
Motherwort
Motherwort is from the mint family, so when you’re collecting it, it’s most likely that you mix it with mint. This plant is equally poisonous and healing, which is so awkward. It should be measured properly before using, because if you take it in large quantities, it’s really poisonous.
St John’s wort
When you use some cream based on St John’s wort and you’re exposed to the sun, you’ll get pigments pots. This can progress into skin inflammation and you’ll have skin issues for weeks.
Anemone
Anemone is a flower which can be in any colors. That’s why it’s so appealing and you might want to collect it and give to someone as a nice gesture. However, anemone contains protoanemonin which causes skin irritations, followed by vomiting, nausea, low or high blood pressure etc.
