Özet

Datura stramonium is a widely abundant plant in Turkey. It is regarded as pipe plant, lough plant, sorcerer's plant, or devil's apple among the population. People may frequently use it against asthma, diarrhea, nocturia, hemorrhoids, acne, and regional pain symptoms. The plant contains L-hiyosiyamin and this molecule is responsible for the atropine and scopolamine intoxication findings.
