In the research of modern medicine, in the search for the ingredients of the "narcissus myrrh" prepared by the ancient Greeks, it was found that the bulbs of Narcissus are toxic. And the aroma of its flower indoors when there are many together cause sedation (sedation), so it is verified that that ancient myrrh must have been medicinal. Recently, however, it was discovered that Narcissus contains galanthamine, a characteristic substance that cures dementia. In Scotland, investigations are ongoing into whether this substance can be produced in large quantities to treat Alzheimer's disease.
