Liteweight Posted November 30, 2004 A friend gave me a packet of seeds for the 'Toothache Plant' and now I have about 30 plants growing. Other than the fun sensation we've had nibbling on the leaves, and the obvious oral pain-deadening qualities, is this plant used for anything other than a flowering novelty?

Guest electro Posted November 30, 2004 Liteweight: "Other than the fun sensation we've had nibbling on the leaves, and the obvious oral pain-deadening qualities, is this plant used for anything other than a flowering novelty?" i dont think so, though i could be wrong ... what more do you want though, i mean you now have your own own local anasthetic growing. (if you mean is splithanole (spelling ?) like coca (& it's cocaine) - no it wont get you high while acting as a local anasthetic as far as i am aware Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr toodly Posted November 30, 2004 Must the leaves be consumed fresh? Or do dried leaves also retain the pain killing property? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramon Posted December 1, 2004 Must the leaves be consumed fresh? Or do dried leaves also retain the pain killing property?
