Belladonna

The name “belladonna” means “beautiful lady,” and was chosen because the belladonna berry juice was used historically to enlarge the pupils of women.

Belladonna is/was used as a sedative, to stop bronchial spasms in asthma and whooping cough, for Parkinson's disease, colic, motion sickness, etc.
