Daphne mezereum
DAS STRAUCHER IM WINTER
Daphne mezereum is very toxic because of the compounds mezerein and daphnin
present especially in the berries and twigs. If poisoned, victims experience a choking
sensation. Handling the fresh twigs can cause rashes and eczema in sensitive individuals.
Despite this, it is commonly grown as an ornamental plant in gardens for its attractive
flowers.
Mezereon is a shrub. Historically, its bark was used to make medicine. But mezereon is
seldom used medicinally these days due to serious safety concerns and because it is a
protected plant species.
Mezereon is taken by mouth to relieve headache and toothache pain.
It is sometimes applied directly to joints to relieve pain and increase blood circulation.
