Dosages (Daylily) — 4.5–6 g (30 g is way too much, possibly even a blinding dose of root) (FAY).
Contraindications, Indications, and Side Effects (Daylily) — Not covered (AHP; KOM; PH2).
While flower buds are considered edible, the roots of daylilies are generally considered toxic and
should not be ingested. Overdoses may cause urinary incontinence, respiratory arrest, dilated pupils,
and even blindness. Daylily root is not an “herb for self medication” (FAY). Hemerocallin is
schistosomicidal. The Chinese name, translated to “forget-worry herb” may refer to the alleged
hallucinogenic effect of eating large doses of the tender young leaf shoots (Foster and Yue, 1992).DEATH ANGEL (Justicia pectoralis Jacq.) +Activities (Death Angel) — Abortifacient (1; FNF); Antiaggregant (1; FNF); Antibacterial (1;
