Owen Homoeopathics Aconite

Aconite is traditionally used for the symptomatic relief of the early stages of the inflammatory process such as fever, dry, short & hacking cough, colds, influenza, earache, vomiting. Aconite suits symptoms that come on suddenly; often during the night, after exposure to dry, windy weather or after a fright.

Always read the label. Homoeopathic principles should be applied when using this remedy. If symptoms persist consult your health care practitioner promptly.


Notes

Aconitum napellus or Monkshood

Remedy picture as described in traditional homoeopathic texts.

This remedy has been described as a storm with sudden onset and sudden dissipation / a storm in the vitality of the person. It produces turmoil in the circulation. Symptoms come on suddenly during the night after exposure to cold dry wind, very hot weather or a frightening experience. Inflammations follow quickly after exposure to wind, fright or shock. Fear is usually a strong feature in the texts and in severe acute conditions the fear may be intense but in more minor conditions it may be entirely absent.

Aconite is mainly used in home prescribing for treating the early stages of colds. It is useful for the first stage of the acute inflammatory process, such as symptoms of fever, croup, colds, influenza, earache, vomiting, diarrhoea, travel sickness etc.
