How do Belladonna plasters work?
I had severe back pain from a damaged disc, so much so that I could not walk. My friend put a belladonna plaster across my lower back and I could move again. Every time my back gave trouble, I used a plaster and it got fine after a while. Then the EU took them off the market and I was devastated. What would I do? Necessity really is the mother of invention. All I wanted was a big plaster but couldn't get one. To make a long story short, I cut a strip of thing called Contact. It is for covering worktops, etc and is really just a big sheet of sticky, pliable plastic. I stuck it on my back and got the same result as given by the belladonna plaster. So, that is how they work: by giving support! Contact is not as efficient as a plaster, obviously, and can be a little uncomfortable.

What is belladonna?
Belladonna is a highly toxic plant, that grows in Europe. It's botanical name is Atropa belladonna. Another name for it is deadly nighshade.Children can die from eating two to six berries. The poison in belladonna brings your heartbeat up, killing you that way. However, foxglove(not belladonna), brings your heartbeat down. So, in theory, foxglove can be used as an antidote for belladonna, and vice versa. However, it is not advisable, as you could mess up, and kill the person anyway.Belladonna is called belladonna because belladonna is Italian for 'beautiful lady', and in the olden days ladies used to squeeze the juice from the berries into their eyes, thus making their pupils dilate and look larger. The ladie though that looked beautiful. The poison that does that is called atropine, and is still used today to examine eyes.Sorry for the long explaination. That's just me. And I am only eleven. And I just remembered that off the top of my head, I didn't just read a book.
