Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Q:how can datura seed be best used for inducing deep sleep without having side effect ? Q:will it be safe to use it mixed it with tea or citrus drink?
Dhatura seeds are not safe to consume for any medical indication including loss of sleep. Dhatura has a potent combination of anticholinergic substances it contains. Datura intoxication typically produces effects similar to that of an anticholinergic delirium (as contrasted to a complete inability to differentiate reality from fantasy); hyperthermia; tachycardia; bizarre, and possibly violent behavior; and severe mydriasis (dilated pupils) with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days. In my opinion, stay away from Dhatura and take other safer medication like Clonazepam or Zolpidem etcetera for inducing sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Rahat Kumar
