🛑 Attention!!! Anyone who works with poisonous plants has a great responsibility. Children are not allowed to get their hands on such a liquid; if consumed, it can lead to death in a few hours without medical attention. Just 1 to 2 g of root powder is fatal.


Hildegard von Bingen: When mixed with thyme, fennel and fat, it can be used as an ointment and drives out madness in people. And whoever suffers from pain in the heart and cannot breathe, crush white sifter and a third part of it, and less mint than boar's rue, and add it to the cow's butter; this is an excellent ointment; if he has pain, he anoint himself there.
