Daffodil bulbs contain an alkaloid the action of which, according to authorities, varies as to whether the alkaloid is extracted from the flowering bulb or from the bulb after flowering. Thus in the former case the alkaloid produces dryness of the mouth, checks cutaneous secretions, dilates the pupil of the eye, quickens the pulse and slows and weakens the heart contractions. On the other hand, the alkaloid from the bulbs after flowering produces copious salivation, increases cutaneous secretion, contracts the pupil of the eye, produces slight relaxation of the pulse and slight faintness and nausea. - The Lancet.
Narcissus pseudonarcissus instills spiritual love according to aromatherapy.
Marguerite Pelt sees an analogy between the remedy and Narcissus (or Narkissos) known from mythology, who falls in love with his own reflection in the water. She has prescribed the remedy several times for people who have not separated and individuated themselves in puberty, and need to find and assert their identity later on in life. A reason for a disturbed development in puberty can be a traumatic youth.
