Stramonium & Belladonna: Comparison-Contrast of two Solanaceae

Known as The Plant that Drives Mad, Datura Stramonium, is commonly called Thornapple or Jimsonweed.1 This plant shares good company with Belladonna (Beautiful Lady), Hyoscymus, and other members of the Solanaceae family. Its active ingredients are atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, all classified as deliriants, or anticholinergics (nervous system inhibitors). The plant is often used recreationally, but doses that give affect and doses that result in death are quite close in physical quantity. Belladonna is well known as a primary source of atropine, and this tropane alkaloid is present in all the parts of the plant, but most concentrated in the root. As few as two or three berries can cause the death of a child, and an adult can die from ingesting just one of the leaves. Stramonium sports beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers of white to purple, and the blossoms open and close at irregular times during the evening. This peculiarity earned the plant the nickname Moonflower. Any part of the plant will emit a foul odor when crushed or broken. See Stramonium Image, Appendix A-1. These sayings were coined to define Stramoniums overall affect: "Blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, red as a beet, hot as hell, dry as a bone, the bowel and bladder lose their tone, and the heart runs alone." "Can't see, can't spit, can't pee, can't shit." Among the Navajo, the caution is: 'Eat a little and go to sleep. Eat some more and have a dream. Eat some more and don't wake up.' In the United States, Stramonium got the name Jamestown Weed from the town of Jamestown, Virginia, where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress a rebellion. This account describes their behavior in detail:
Some of the soldiers sent thither to quell the rebellion of Bacon (1676); and some of them ate plentifully of it, the effect of which was a very pleasant comedy, for they turned natural fools upon it for several days: one would blow up a feather in the air; another would dart straws at it with much fury; and another, stark naked, was sitting up in a corner like a monkey, grinning and making mows [grimaces] at them; a fourth would fondly kiss and paw his companions, and sneer in their faces with a countenance more antic than any in a Dutch droll. In this frantic condition they were confined, lest they should, in their folly, destroy themselves- though it was observed that all their actions were full of innocence and good nature. Indeed, they were not very cleanly; for they would have wallowed in their own excrements, if they had not been prevented. A thousand such simple tricks they played, and after 11 days returned themselves again, not remembering anything that had passed. Robert Beverly, The History and Present State of Virginia, 1705.

Belladonna, on the other hand, looks anything but a beautiful lady. The plant is rather duller in appearance than Stramonium, with small bell-shaped purple blossoms that eventually develop into shiny black berries approximately one centimeter in diameter (and have the look of a large, black, dilated pupil). The leaves have an oily feel to them and can cause vesicular eruptions if carelessly handled. Belladonna can grow to five meters with leaves up to 18 centimeters long. Considered a perennial branching herb, it is not known for hardiness and is quite sensitive to transplanting. Germination generally requires several weeks in warm, moist, absolutely sterile

Datura stramonium is known by the common names Jimson Weed, Gypsum Weed, Ditch Weed, Stink Weed, Loco Weed, Korean Morning Glory, Jamestown Weed, Thorn Apple, Angel's Trumpet, Devil's Trumpet, Devil's Snare, Devil's Seed, Mad Hatter, Crazy Tea, Malpitte, Hells Bells, and The Devil's Balls. Deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), is also known as Belladonna, Banewort, Devil's Cherries, Naughty Man's Cherries, Divale, Black Cherry, Devil's Herb, Great Morel, and Dwayberry.

soil (significantly different than the trashy places in which Stramonium can be found growing!). See Belladonna Image, Appendix A-2. Characteristic themes common to the Solanaceae family are (Sankaran): Jerking, shooting, spasms, constriction, choking, twitching, convulsions, violence. Fainting, unconsciousness, stupor, rage, fear of murder, black objects, jovial, vivacious, and kisses. The affects of members of this family are sudden, spasmodic, convulsive, and violent with common expressions of delirious laughing, desire for company, talking, and cheerfulness polarized by fear, rage, darkness, being alone, being startled, screaming, blackness, and death. Belladonna and Stramonium are both placed in the acute miasm (rapid pace, great immediacy) in Sankarans Sensations method. In Synthesis Treasure Edition, Belladonna is found in plain type in the general rubrics for Psora and Syphilis, and Stramonium is found in plain type for Sycosis and Syphilis. Looking specifically at the two remedies in question, it is easy to see how much they share in common with their family likeness. The two remedies can be found together in over 2600 rubrics, 671 in the MIND section and 443 GENERALS. Appendix B provides a sorted list of rubrics shared between the two remedies (MIND Ailments, Deliriums, Delusions, Fears, and shared DREAMS). A quick browsing of the list and it is very easy to see the Solanaceae description above come to the surface along with the fever and delirium of the alkaloids they share in common. Delirium is fast in pace: wild, vivid, rabid, and violent. Their delusions are terrifying (dogs, rats, cats, animals, ugly faces), and behaviors range from snatching, biting, laughing, crying, to unconsciousness. The two remedies share a great deal, including the fear of water or the sound of running water and fear of the dark. Physically, they share the same feverish rolling head motions, photophobic dilation of the pupils, paralysis of the optic nerve, red discoloration of the eyes and face, congestion of the face, difficult speech, gyrations and twitching of extremities, convulsions, and elevated or rapid and quite strong pulse. But, like all families, each member is really quite unique, even when they may look very much alike on the surface. Just as the two plants present themselves quite differently, so the single symptoms of the remedies quickly distinguish them as do a look at the remedies keynotes and modalities. Although Belladonna is often thought of as remedy for acute illness, it also has action as a constitutional medicine. When all is put together, one can readily see that Stramonium is a remedy for neurological disorders that manifest with violent, raging, murderous and terrified symptoms and while Belladonna may appear to have many of the same symptoms, it is a remedy more suited for illnesses that are perhaps as acute in their symptoms, but not as psychologically deep-seated. Gibson offers this description of Stramonium: That it is a menacing and repulsive plant is evident by its names devils apple, devils trumpet, stinkweed. Its pallid blanched funnel-shaped flowers instill fear. Its ragged untidy leaves suggest wildness. Its spiky fruit could scarcely be more hostile, both in appearance and also when it explodes like a hand-grenade, scattering black seeds of death. Its dark somber leaves enwrapping pale flowers at night are suggestive of the black cloud of nightmarish nonsense that envelopes the befuddled mind of its victim. And of Belladonna: It is the berries which arrest the eye and may prove all too alluring to the unwary. They are large, globose, shiny black in color and seem to stare at the passerby to challenge and entice. The plant resembles a remarkable picture of violent growth, springing into intense activity in the early part of the year from its underground root, bearing leaves, flowers, and both ripe and unripe berries all at the same time in a furor of growth,

attaining in one short season perhaps to the height of a manthere always was a sinister aura of lethality associated with this plant. Hyoscyamus, Stramonium, and Belladonna are referred to as the sinister sisters of the Solanaceae family.
