Cursed Buttercup Overview

Ranunculus sceleratus, commonly known as "Cursed Buttercup" or "Celery-leaved Buttercup," is a plant species found in wetland areas across parts of North America and Eurasia. While it has historical use in traditional medicine for various purposes, it is important to note that some species within the Ranunculus genus contain toxic compounds, and this particular species, in particular, is known to cause skin irritation and blistering if handled. As such, it is not recommended for use as a dietary supplement or herbal remedy due to its potential toxicity. Always exercise caution and seek professional advice before using any plant for medicinal purposes.

Modafinil Overview

  • Modafinil is used to treat excessive sleepiness caused by narcolepsy (a condition that causes excessive daytime sleepiness) or shift work sleep disorder (sleepiness during scheduled waking hours and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep during scheduled sleeping hours in people who work at night or on rotating shifts). Modafinil is also used along with breathing devices or other treatments to prevent excessive sleepiness caused by obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS; a sleep disorder in which the patient briefly stops breathing or breathes shallowly many times during sleep and therefore doesn't get enough restful sleep). Modafinil is in a class of medications called wakefulness promoting agents. It works by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the area of the brain that controls sleep and wakefulness.
