Belladonna Mother Tincture — Overview
Belladonna mother tincture (Q) comes from the fresh plant Atropa belladonna, commonly known as Deadly Nightshade. This powerful homoeopathic preparation acts deeply on the nervous system, circulatory system, and mucous membranes. Homoeopathic practitioners use Belladonna Q for high fevers, throbbing headaches, throat inflammation, and acute inflammatory conditions with sudden onset. Its rapid action makes it one of the most frequently prescribed remedies in acute homoeopathic practice.
