Atropa Belladonna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It features bell-shaped purple flowers and shiny black berries. All parts of the plant are toxic due to the presence of tropane alkaloids, particularly atropine, which can cause serious health issues if ingested. Historically, Atropa Belladonna has been used in traditional medicine for its anticholinergic properties, helping to treat various ailments. However, due to its toxicity, it is crucial to handle the plant with care and avoid consumption. Its name, meaning "beautiful lady," comes from its historical use in cosmetics to dilate pupils.
