Vatsnabh (Vats- for child & Nabh for umbilicus- Roots looks like everted umbilicus) or Aconite is considered one of the the most poisonous plant in the world. It is native to North-East India and Nepal. It is very well spread over Sandakphu mountain in West Bengal. #Ayurveda 1/3
Sandakphu in Tibetean means height of poisonous plant from the fact that shepherds stopped taking their herds to this mountain because of poisoning. No plant grows in its vicinity and there are reports of poisoning in humans by accidental inhalation of its pollen while trekking.
Very evolved and experienced Aghoris smoke this with cannabis to reach an altered consciousness state. In Ayurveda the herb is first purified in cows urine and then used in different medicines to treat Fever, Pain and Arsenic poisoning.3/4
A very famous woman popularly called the curry killer poisoned her fiancé in UK by mixing Aconite in curry which she sourced from India was sentenced to life imprisonment.
