Toxicity
This is a dangerous (baneful) herb, so approach it with respect. Its root contains aconitic acid, which is used in perfumery, but its principal active chemicals are glycosides (poisons). These toxins are chemically related to venom found in the skin of certain toads. As far back as the ancient Greeks, a tincture of black hellebore was used in single drop doses as a drastic purgative in mental illness (it is a CNS depressent) or to slow a rapid heart, but in larger doses it causes death by convulsions and heart failure, so it was not much employed, especially since foxglove and dogbane are less dangerous.
