Preparation & more: The herbal plant belladonna is poisonous when used in material quantities. Just 2 berries contain enough Atropine to kill a small child. Its derivatives are used in pharmaceuticals to treat symptoms like stomach cramping and throbbing headaches. Preparing homeopathic belladonna requires serial dilution & succussion (shaking); it is no longer poisonous & its healing properties are preserved.
