Aconite. Ranunculaceae. It is the primary remedy for the onset of all types of congestion that occur suddenly after exposure to cold, particularly in young and vigorous individuals, and which begin with a chill.

Aconitum napellus is also the remedy for chills, accompanied by dry skin, thirst, and a stitch in the side. It calms the fever that causes shivering. It is therefore, above all, the supreme remedy for the sudden onset of the flu and for all illnesses that begin with a chill (pneumonia, pulmonary congestion) or with shivering (pleurisy, malaria), and in which there is always dry skin. (Note that once the patient begins to sweat, Aconite is no longer indicated; Belladonna is.)

Aconite is the primary remedy for a dry chill (from a biting wind), hence its indications for:

• hoarseness, dry and raspy coughs associated with tracheitis and laryngotracheitis (Spongia, Sambucus, Senega, Kali iod);
• chest tightness, bronchitis, and early-stage pulmonary tuberculosis with hemoptysis;
• facial and intercostal neuralgias “a frigore”;
• earaches following exposure to a dry, cold draft, often accompanied by painful hyperacusis;
• photophobia (in skiers), nosebleeds with nasal dryness;
• and especiallyhypertension: For rapid relief in acute hypertension, nothing compares to Aconite.

Aconite has been called the “homeopathic lancet”; it can be combined with Aurum and Baryta carbonicum for long-term treatments. Aconitum is also one of the main remedies for acute rheumatism (along with Apis, Bryone, Ferrum phos., and Rhus tox.), especially if it occurs after exposure to a dry, cold draft. It works wonders for jaundice (along with Phosphorus, Chelidonium, Nux vomica, and Podophyllum), as well as for cardiac hypertrophy (in athletes, for example, combined with Cactus, Aurum, and Rhus tox) and throbbing headaches following exposure to a dry chill or sunstroke (combined with Glonoin and Opium).

Aconitum is the constitutional remedy for fearful people, those who are afraid of everything, and particularly afraid of death. It is the remedy for phobias (Lillium).
It soothes anxiety, restlessness, and palpitations, particularly in individuals sensitive to dry cold.
It is indicated for the cessation of menstruation following exposure to cold (Antimon crud., Pulsatilla, Conium, Dulcamara), or following a fright (Actea, Chamomilla, Opium, Gelsemium).

In cases of simple fever with chills, Aconitum napellus should be administered. If there is cardiac involvement, Aconitum ferrox is preferred (RAA, aortitis, angina, endocarditis...).

According to Dr. Roger Pernot, “The cardiac aspect of Aconit can be summarized in a few words: agitation, anxiety, fear of sudden death, predicting the time of one’s death, precordial pain radiating to the left arm, and especially numbness and even tingling in the left arm (Cactus); worsening around midnight.”
Special considerations: Avoid giving Aconite to patients with low blood pressure and a slow pulse, and to those who sweat profusely.
When a homeopath prescribes Aconite without specifying the variety, the pharmacist dispenses Aconitum napellus.
