Wolfsbane, also known as Aconitum, is a highly toxic plant that belongs to the buttercup family. It is characterized by its tall stems, clusters of blue to purple flowers, and deeply lobed leaves. Wolfsbane is notorious for its poisonous properties, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and even death if ingested. Despite its toxicity, Wolfsbane has been used in traditional medicine for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. In folklore, Wolfsbane is believed to ward off werewolves and evil spirits, hence its name.
