The Mandragora sp. or mandrake is perhaps one of the most famous medicinal and mystical plants of Europe and the Mediterranean. It has been used throughout history for various ailments, including skin inflammation, pain, digestive and sleep issues. Atropine and scopolamine, naturally present in the mandrake, continue to have an important role in modern medicine.

Known for its human-shaped root, historically the mandrake plant was believed to possess potent medicinal and magical properties. It is most famously associated with the myth that its root screams when uprooted, a deadly sound feared by all who sought to harvest it.
