Dazed & Confused asked:
Ok so I did some research on these because I was going to use them on my daughter… but they contain Belladonna… Atropa belladonna or Atropa bella-donna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae, native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The foliage and berries are extremely toxic, containing tropane alkaloids.[1] These toxins include scopolamine and hyoscyamine which cause a bizarre delirium and hallucinations.[2] The drug atropine is derived from the plant.

I was also told by my pediatrician that Homeopathic medicines are not regulated by the FDA… not that I trust them too much, but I mean I read up on this and this is really poisonous. If you use this does this article or these facts change your mind about it? I am really questioning if this is the right thing for my daughter to be using. Thanks!!
They are supposedly what everyone is using these days… I am just not sure I am going to jump on that band wagon!
