Discover the benefits of homeopathically prepared monkshood, transformed into the powerful remedy Aconitum Napellus.
As a homemaker and the caretaker of our homes we want medicine that is safe and effective, with no side effects. Thankfully, homeopathic medicine is this type of medicine.
What is Homeopathic Medicine?
Homeopathy is a form of medicine that has been around for over 200 years. It was first discovered by Doctor Samuel Hahnemann. It is an alternative form of medicine that uses highly diluted substances from plants, animals and minerals as medicine known as remedies. These substances signal to the body that it needs to return back to a place of homeostasis. This form of medicine is based on the principle of “like cures like.” If you would like to read more about the basics of homeopathic medicine, check out my article HERE.
What is Aconitum Napellus
Aconitum Napellus is the homeopathic remedy, more commonly known as Aconite. The remedy Aconite is made from the toxic, flowering, Monkshood plant. The entire monkshood plant is toxic. From the flowers to the roots this plant is extremely poisonous.
Monkshood is native to western and central Europe and grows in the mountain regions.
Historical Use of Monkshood
Historically Monkshood was used in battle. The tips of spears and arrows were dipped in poison from the plant in order for warriors to hunt or harm their enemies.
What are the Benefits of Aconite
The homeopathic medicine, Aconite, often addresses fright and anxiety in individuals. It is a powerful remedy that is able to offer support to a variety of conditions in the human body.
Aconite for Emotional Support
Anytime there is intense fear, fright or panic Aconite is the remedy that should come to mind.
Some situations and instances of fear and panic are natural disasters, car accidents, or any situation that causes intense shock. The kind of shock I’m referencing is the type where you are fearful for your life or someone else’s. It is the remedy to have on hand for emergencies. Some other emotional situations that Aconite can help with include:
- Physical and mental restlessness
- Panic Attacks
- Nightmares
- Phobias
- General fear of death
Aconite for Physical Support
Aconite is beneficial when dealing with emotional symptoms such as fright and shock but it can also offer physical support during times of illness as well. If taken at the first sign of sickness, Aconite can often help the body overcome the illness.
If an illness does progress with fever developing rapidly and with great intensity, this is a good indication that the remedy Aconite can offer needed support.
Dr. Robin Murphy, in his Materia Medica says, the four keynotes for Aconite are:
Fear, Fright, Fast & Fevers
These four keywords will help you make the right decision when considering the remedy, Aconite.
My Personal Experience Using Aconite
I have personally used the remedy Aconite for myself and my family in several types of situations.
- Anytime we feel the beginning stages of an illness. We pair Aconite with Bryonia as a remedy combo to hopefully ward off the virus.
- For my children to deal with the shock of injury or for me as the mother witnessing it
- Personal shock after cutting my finger very badly while cooking.
I hope it is evident that Aconite is a remedy that should be kept on hand for a variety of situations.
