Homeopathic remedies have been used to treat both acute and chronic conditions successfully since the 1700s when German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, developed the practice of homeopathy out of the realization that some strong drugs and treatments do more harm than good. Using very diluted doses of substances that would, in a healthy person, produce symptoms of the disease, homeopathic medicine works on the premise that like treats like. Homeopathic remedies in pill form look and taste like sugar pills. They also come suspended in alcohol or glycerites. Aconite is acclaimed as a highly effective and safely administered homeopathic remedy with the ability to treat a variety of ailments; but in it's natural form is highly toxic. This article is in no way a substitute for a licensed care giver and is offered as a general guideline only.
Managing Shock and Fear
Use homeopathic aconite for any type of shock or sudden injury that causes emotional distress or fearfulness in regular 20-minute intervals for up to six doses. Because of its effectiveness in treating shock, it is considered to be a valuable remedy to have in a first aid kit.
Excessive Thirst
Aconite is homeopathicly indicated when illness presents with excessive thirst as a symptom. Aconite can be found in a homeopathic liquid form and added to water to help with symptoms of thirst as well as addressing the illness at hand.
Sudden Onset of Colds and Illness
Homeopathic aconite is the remedy of choice when you suddenly feel a cold coming on. With general malaise or a feeling of sudden illness, aconite is usually the first homeopathic medicine to use at the initial onset of a cold, the flu, or any rapid onset of fever, chills, sore throat, eye and/or ear infections. Aconite is best taken as soon as possible to stop symptoms when they begin.
Aches and Pains
When illness presents with aches and pains common to the onset of the flu, aconite has been shown to halt or reduce symptoms quickly. Some critics argue that homeopathic medicines are so diluted that they no longer contain even a single molecule of the original healing substance and are therefore only effective as a placebo. However, homeopathic remedies, including aconite, have been proven effective in clinical trials even when placebo effect is considered. A 1990 study published in the French journal of pediatrics noted the effectiveness of aconite in post-surgical patients.
Aconite for Pets
Pets can also be easily treated with homeopathic aconite, though it is harder to assess how they are feeling due to their inability to talk. Nevertheless, homeopathic aconite is indicated whenever a pet has been injured and is suffering from shock, or if they seem to have a sudden cold or fever that is coupled with restlessness.
