 1. Calabar bean (Africa) Calabar bean is a perennial climbing plant that is indigenous to tropical West Africa, mainly Nigeria and Cameroon. Its scientific name is Physostigma venenosum. The most dangerous components of the plant are found in the bean, also known as ordeal bean, including physostigmine, eseroline, and calabarine. Calabar bean has been used for its therapeutic benefits while being extremely poisonous. Treatment of glaucoma, a disorder characterised by elevated intraocular pressure in the eye, is one of its primary applications in conventional medicine. Physostigmine, the main ingredient in calabar beans, inhibits cholinesterase. Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in several physiological processes such as muscular contraction and the control of intraocular pressure, is broken down by the enzyme cholinesterase. By cholinesterase inhibition, physostigmine prolongs cholinergic activity, lowers intraocular pressure, and relieves glaucoma symptoms. However, it's
