Doepa

'n Fles gekleurde vloeistof gemerk as 'n liefdesdrankie.
'n Versameling flessies gemerk as doepa.

'n Doepa (van Maleis, dupa, wat "wierook" beteken) is 'n vloeistof "wat medisyne, gif, of iets wat veronderstel is om towerkragte te hê, bevat.”[1]

Deur die geskiedenis was daar verskeie soorte doepas vir 'n verskeidenheid doeleindes.[2] Redes vir die neem van hierdie drankies het gewissel van die genesing van 'n siekte, tot die versekering van onsterflikheid, tot die poging om liefde aan te wakker. Hierdie doepas, hoewel dikwels ondoeltreffend of giftig, het soms 'n mate van medisinale sukses behaal, afhangende van wat hulle wou regmaak en die tipe en hoeveelheid bestanddele wat gebruik is.[3] Sommige gewilde bestanddele wat deur die geskiedenis in drankies gebruik word, sluit in Spaanse vlieg,[4] nastergal plante, dagga en opium.[5]

Gedurende die 17de tot 19de eeu was dit algemeen om in Europa te sien hoe smouse doepas aanbied vir kwale wat wissel van hartseer tot die plaag. Hulle is uiteindelik as kwaksalwery afgemaak.[6] Prostitute, hofdames, towenaars en vroedvroue was bekend vir die uitdeel van doepas.[7]
