Egyptian Henbane is a plant that has been used for various medicinal purposes for centuries, including as a sedative and painkiller. Other names for this plant include Black Henbane, Hyoscyamus niger, and Stinking Nightshade. The plant is known for its potent alkaloids, including hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and atropine, which have therapeutic properties but can also lead to dangerous side effects when used in high doses. In some cultures, it is also known as Devil's Eye or Devil's Trumpet. While the plant is considered toxic, it is still widely used in traditional medicine in some parts of the world.
