My student’s kids were playing at the park in some tall grass when some sort of unidentified flying insect with a large stinger dashed out and stung one of the boys in the leg. In her particular case, Aconite would have been the ideal remedy for her if taken just after the time of the quake.īut by taking Aconitum Napellus 200C twice daily for a few weeks, even years later, she was able to regain enough composure and a sense of calm to get on with her life without the use of anti-anxiety drugs.Īnother example is what I refer to as “the case of the phantom-sting:” There are always exceptions but for now, since we are merely introducing the remedy, consider this the basics of Aconitum napellus.Īs a “for instance,” consider Maria, a woman who was in a severe earthquake that left her in a complete state of panic for decades. This is one of the rules of Aconite - that if well-chosen, it is only effective for the first 24 hours of a typical acute illness. However, this rule mostly applies to colds, flu, ear infections, and other infectious diseases - not injuries.Īfter these first hours, you need to abandon this remedy and pursue another one if necessary. The only caveat to Aconite is that typically, it is only useful during the first 24-48 hours of the illness. For those times when one minute, all is well, then WHAM!Īgain, we are looking at the circumstances surrounding how the illness/injury occurred, not just at its pathology. This means it can also be used in place of Arnica for an injury. If any other illness comes on sudden and strong like this, be it a bladder infection, a sore throat, or a burn to the finger, you would consider Aconite as a possible remedy, again because of how the symptoms manifested.īecause of its “shocking” nature, Aconitum napellusis particularly useful in situations involving fright.įor example, if you witnessed an unexpected and frightening car accident, this lovely remedy would be excellent medicine to help ease and resolve any feelings of shock and fear you might experience. If after taking the remedy your symptoms improve, you could say that you had an Aconite ear infection because your body was ‘jolted’ into an illness. So, if you felt fine at bedtime, but woke up the next morning with a sudden aching in the ear, you would think of Aconite as a possible remedy because there was a quick onset of symptoms a shock to the system, so to speak. The body presents a need for Aconite when the symptoms manifest themselves quickly, and with little prior warning. “I think I'm coming down with something,” he suddenly announced after feeling great during an otherwise uneventful day, I wasn't surprised when a student told me about how her husband - who devotes little to no time to learning remedies - knows how and when to use Aconite. It is such an easy remedy to learn that those who know very little about homeopathic remedies will at least know their Aconite. When you open most homeopathic remedy kits, the very first remedy in the box is usually Aconitum Napellus 200C, or Aconite for short.
