General Information
Belladonna is a highly toxic plant which is rendered safe when placed in homeopathic potencies above 7C. It treats intense symptoms with a rapid onset. They usually involve inflammation with heat, redness, congestion, and throbbing pain. The person’s temperature will be high, their eyes glassy in appearance, or pupils dilated. They are oversensitive to light, noise, and being bumped or jarred. The fever may produce hallucinations, and the throat and mouth will be dry. Hands and feet will be cold but the rest of the body hot to touch. Affected parts, such as areas of inflammation and the head during headaches, feel better when elevated. Complaints are usually worse on the right side of the body.
