Historical Data
Despite its toxicity, daphne was used in the 20 th century as a pain reliever for gout and rheumatism. To arise sympathy, beggars in the Orient used an extract from it to cause wounds. Even in the 1960s, however, the plant was still used as a source of dyestuffs for carpet wool in the area around Dösemealti in Southern Turkey .
