 Curare
The usual method of preparation was to combine young-bark scrapings of Strychnos and the menisperms with other cleaned plant fragments and sometimes snake venom or venomous ants.
This mixture was boiled in water for about two days and then strained and evaporated to become a dark, heavy, viscid paste with a very bitter taste.
Curare is still used in many chronic situations, such as for muscle trauma or spasms, acute arthritis, poliomyelitis, as well as in the interesting cases of patients who must be completely immobilized during extremely delicate surgery, kept alive by machines.

Nowadays, the genus Strychnos created by Linnaeus in 1753 is the numerically most important genus from the Loganiaceae family and comprises 196 species growing in the warm regions of Asia (58 species), America (64) and Africa (75).
Asian Strychnos were assumed to contain strychnine and related compounds, whereas curarizing ammonium salts were associated with American Strychnos.
During the last three decades, however, systematic screening of African Strychnos has revealed the presence of numerous, varied alkaloids in these plants and demonstrated that the correlation between geographical distribution and alkaloid content was erroneous.
