Answer 1

I don't know much about mandrake except that it shouldn't be taken internally. Looking forward to seeing some of the answers, though...

Answer 2

Just so you know:

MANDRAKE -- _Mandragora officinarum._ L. Family Solanaceae (Potato family).
Material: Various parts especially parsnip-shaped root of
perennial plant found in fields and stony places of southern Europe.
Usage: Brew made from boiling crushed root.
Active Constituents: Scopolamine, hyoscyamine, mandragorine, and other tropanes.
Effects: Hallucinations followed by deathlike trance and sleep.
Contraindications: Same as thornapple. Said to cause insanity.
Not recommended.
Supplier: Must be obtained in Europe.

American Mandrake is a whole other thing. Can you tell me which you are using. Podophyllum peltatum or the May Apple are two other names its known as. This herb should be used in very small amounts.

To be honest, I can't find anything it does go with. I went all the way back to a Herbal remedy book written in 1875. However, I wandered into Vodou and found that Mandrake in a small red flannel sack is a protection from all harm.

Sorry.....but its 3 am and I'm giving up.
