Aconitum Napellus (monkshood ) This fascinating single is best known for its ability to relieve colds in their first phase and minimize the emotional and physical responses to shocks or stresses . Whether the shock to the system comes from a cold wind , an accident or an emotional scare , Aconite helps the body control its shock responses and ease the effects. Easing colds in their initial phase is Aconite s best known application. When shocked by cold wind or trauma , our bodies become more susceptible to colds. As soon as noses run or sore throat flare , it is the best time to take Aconite. If given with the first sneeze, sniffle , dry throat , dry barking cough , ear pain, fever or other sign that a cold is on its way , Aconite will often cut it short. Its cold symptoms may include a thirst for cold drinks, chills, a flushed face ( sometimes just one cheek is red) and the fear that it is bound to get worse . When fear and anxiety threaten to induce a fearful state following an accident or trauma , a dose of Aconite can steady the nerves and help you assess the situation . Whenever anger , shocking news , fear, night frights , exams or even getting stuck in an elevator or lost in a crowd , causes nerves to become overwrought, Aconite calms the nerves and minimizes the latent physical and mental effects . Though generally a remedy for the first 24 - 48 hours , Aconite has helped complaints that develop long after a stressful situation . When do you choose Aconite or Arnica first after an accident ? Arnica is stunned but says something like , “ no, I ’ m fine, don ’ t touch me , ” while Aconite is fearful, restless and more apt to say , “ help me , I ’ m scared. ” Overall keynotes which identify a use for Aconite include: Sudden, intense responses; Fear and axiousness; Tingling and/ or burning sensations; Flushed face that becomes pale on standing; Hypersensitivity to pain. . Aconite s other applications include: Sudden bursting , burning headaches ; Eye irritation when the whites are reddish ; Acute fevers that feel hot inside and chilly outside and may alternate cold and hot at night; Sleeplessness from nightmares or anxious dreams; Mothers and babies frightened by childbirth; Restless teething in children with hot red cheeks ( see Belladonna , too ); Sudden ear pain or irritation. Aconite s ability to stabilize our reactions to mental , emotional and physical stresses , has made it a vital component in many combination remedies and a member of almost every household and professional homeopathic kit .
