Belladonna

Belladonna, or wolfsbane was a poisonous herb known to cure lycanthropy. It was known to be also toxic. Anyone eating belladonna was likely to find themselves weakened physically.

Habitats
Belladonna was known to grown in both the Prime Material plane and the Feywild.

Uses
If a victim bitten by a lycanthrope ate a sprig of belladonna within an hour of the bite, he or she had a chance of not contracting the disease. The belladonna, however, had to be relatively fresh, not picked any later than a week ago.

Though consumption of belladonna worked equally as well for giants and giant-kin infected with lycanthropy, they needed to consume much larger amounts than the smaller humanoid races.

Belladonna was used as a material component for a variety of charms, potions, and spells. Because of this they were frequently harvested by hags and witches. One spell known to require belladonna was protection from poison. It was also used in gas bombs invented by the lycanthrope-hunting organization known as the Silver Stake.

Locations
Belladonna was known to grow on this small, Isle of Balduran, in the Trackless Sea
