In homeopathic practice, Aconite has been traditionally used for acute conditions including sudden fever, anxiety, restlessness, and early stages of inflammation. It is not recognized or used in conventional evidence-based medicine.
Homeopathic preparations follow the principle of serial dilution and succussion. Aconite is extremely diluted in this preparation, with lactose serving as an inert carrier. At typical homeopathic dilutions, no measurable amount of the original substance remains.
Raw Aconitum plants contain toxic alkaloids including aconitine, which can cause serious cardiotoxic and neurotoxic effects including cardiac arrhythmias and respiratory paralysis. The extreme dilutions used in homeopathy contain no active ingredient. Consult conventional healthcare providers for evidence-based treatment. Never use raw Aconite or unprocessed Aconite preparations.
