Is delphinium poisonous?

1. Is it toxic?

It can be said that it is a poisonous weed because the whole plant is poisonous, and the seeds it produces contain even higher toxic components, mainly an alkali. If we accidentally eat it, it will cause poisoning problems in our nervous system, and in severe cases it will cause convulsions. Therefore, if you want to grow it and your children are naughty, it is best to place the plant where they cannot touch it. Otherwise, the consequences may be serious.

2. Medicinal Use

1 Although these plants are toxic, they can also be made into medicines to treat our illnesses. Although its seeds are highly toxic, when taken internally, their effects are very similar to those of Aconitum, and they can treat wheezing and edema of the body. Generally speaking, you can consult a regular physician about how much seeds to take and whether to add other herbs to neutralize its toxicity.

2 You can choose 5 cents to 1 cent of herbs, boil them in water, and then hold the boiled juice in your mouth, but do not swallow it. This method can cure toothache.

3 You can also use Sophora flavescens together with it, grind it into powder and apply it to the areas affected by scabies.

3. Appreciation

Because of its unique appearance and elegant color, we can plant this flower in our home garden to add color to the entire garden. However, we must remember to tell children not to touch it, otherwise they may be poisoned.
