The Complete History of HENBANE: The Herb of Madness That Fueled Witchcraft | History For Sleep

Описание: Madness. Visions. Witchcraft. Pain relief.
In the Middle Ages, few plants captured the human imagination — or fear — like Henbane.

This is the complete historical documentary of Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), the mysterious herb used by medieval surgeons, monks, midwives, alchemists, and accused witches.
Known as The Herb of Madness, Henbane didn’t just blur the senses — it blurred the line between medicine and magic.

Long before modern anesthetics, medieval healers used Henbane to dull pain, calm hysteria, and even induce anesthesia before surgery.
But in the wrong hands — or the wrong dose — it caused delirium, hallucinations, uncontrollable laughter, paranoia, and visions of flying…

And that made it perfect for witchcraft accusations.

📜 In this documentary, you’ll discover:
✔ How Henbane was used by Greek, Roman, Arabic, and medieval physicians
✔ Why monks, midwives, and healers secretly used it for pain, sleep & childbirth
✔ Why the Church saw it as proof of demonic influence
✔ How Henbane became part of “flying ointments” and witch trial evidence
✔ Why Europe feared women who knew too much about plants
✔ How the knowledge both survived — and was suppressed

Not fantasy. Not legend.
This is the real history of madness, medicine, and belief — all hidden in a flower.
