SBL Aconitum Napellus (DILUTION)

Aconitum napellus is a classical homoeopathic medicine prepared from the Monkshood plant and belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. It is well known for its rapid, acute action in conditions marked by sudden onset of symptoms, intense restlessness, and great fear—especially the fear of death. Aconitum acts primarily on the nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems and is considered the first remedy for inflammatory fevers and early-stage acute infections. It is particularly suited to ailments brought on by exposure to dry, cold wind, emotional shock, or fright. It helps in calming mental anguish, easing physical tension, and addressing feverish states before pathological changes develop.
