Homeopathy Treatment – Aconite (Aconitum napellus)

Aconitum napellus (the Common Monkshood) was considered to be of therapeutic and toxicological importance.

Its roots have occasionally been mistaken for horseradish.

It has a short underground stem, from which dark-colored tapering roots descend. The crown or upper portion of the root gives rise to new plants.

When touched to one’s lip, the juice of the aconite root produces a feeling of numbness and tingling.

This plant is used as a food plant by some Lepidoptera species including Dot Moth, The Engrailed, Mouse Moth, Wormwood Pug, and Yellow-tail.
