All parts of these plants are considered toxic to humans, causing severe digestive discomfort if ingested & also skin irritation.

Early reports of drinking small amounts of larkspur helped against the sting of scorpions.

They have been used in the treatment of dropsy & spasmodic asthma, generally in the form of a tincture, which has been much employed as a lotion, or as an ointment for the destruction of lice.
