Nux Vomica Tincture – Strychnine
Antique amber glass bottle
Red ‘POISON’ label
Indicating to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the toxic substances cabinet, the infamous ‘poison cabinet’.
The vomit nut is the seed of the Strychnos nux-vomica tree, native to South-East Asia.
This tincture (the maceration of the seeds in alcohol) is extremely rich in highly toxic alkaloids, primarily strychnine and brucine.
In pharmacy, in infinitesimal doses (in drops), it was used as a central nervous system stimulant and a cardiac stimulant.
But it is a potent poison. At toxic doses, strychnine causes generalised tetanic convulsions followed by death by asphyxiation.
