Introduction
This is kind of a creepy herb. Its name includes the word vomica, to vomit, and that tells you what you need to know about this herb. It so excited the body that the body eject anything in it. It was used in small doses to stimulate the body in less dramatic manner, but, all done and said, not an herb for the consumer to fool around with.
