Abstract
In my paper, I present the medical knowledge related to the thorn apple (Datura stramonium L.) spread in historical Hungary and how it was applied in healing activities starting from the 17 th century to the beginning of the 20 th century, by analysing medico-botanical works, medical theses, pharmacopoeias, press products and museum objects, and including ethno-medicinal sources. I discuss its application for skin problems, rabies, and asthma, as well as the plant’s role in homeopathy and veterinary medicine.
