Aconitum Napellus: Winds, or Exposure To Draughts of Cold Air While in A Perspiration Bad

Aconite is indicated for acute or recent cases, especially in young, full-bodied and sedentary individuals who are sensitive to changes in weather. It can help complaints caused by exposure to dry, cold winds or drafts, as well as suppressed perspiration. Symptoms include great fear, anxiety, restlessness and intolerance of pain that is worst in the evening and at night. Aconite may be useful before localization occurs in inflammatory conditions, as well as for fevers with a dry, hot skin and intense restlessness.

Allen’s Keynotes

Aconitum Napellus
Monkshood (Ranunculacea.)

It is generally indicated in acute or recent cases occurring in young


persons, especially girls, of a full, plethoric habit who lead a sedentary life;
persons easily affected by atmospheric changes; dark hair and eyes, rigid
muscular fibre.

Complaints caused by exposure to dry cold air, dry north or west


winds, or exposure to draughts of cold air while in a perspiration; bad
effects of checked perspiration. 

Great fear and anxiety of mind, with great nervous excitability;


afraid to go out, to go into a crowd where there is any excitement or many
people; to cross the street.

The countenance is expressive of fear; the life is rendered miserable


by fear; is sure his disease will prove fatal; predicts the day he will die; fear
of death during pregnancy.

Restless, anxious, does everything in great haste; must change


position often; everything startles him.

Pains; are intolerable, they drive him crazy; he becomes very


restless; at night.

Hahnemann says: "Whenever Aconite is chosen homeopathically,


you must, above all, observe the moral symptoms, and be careful that it
closely resembles them; the anguish of mind and body; the restlessness; the
disquiet not to be allayed.".

This mental anxiety, worry, fear accompanies the most trivial


ailment.

ACONITE NAPELLUS
Music is unbearable, makes her sad (Sab., during menses, Nat. c.).

On rising from a recumbent position the red face becomes deathly


pale, or he becomes faint or giddy and falls, and fears to rise again; often
accompanied by vanishing of sight and unconsciousness.

Amenorrhoea in plethoric young girls; after fright, to prevent


suppression of menses. For the congestive stage of inflammation before
localization takes place. Fever; skin dry and hot; face red, or pale and red
alternately; burning thirst for large quantities of cold water; intense
nervous restlessness, tossing about in agony; becomes intolerable towards
evening and on going to sleep.

Convulsions; of teething children; heat, jerks and twitches of single


muscles; child gnaws its fist, frets and screams; skink hot and dry; high
fever.

Cough, croup; dry, hoarse, suffocating, loud, rough, croaking; hard,


ringing, whistling; on expiration (Caust. - on inhalation, Spong.); from dry,
cold winds or drafts of air.

Aconite should never be given simply to control the fever, never


alternated with other drugs for that purpose. If it be a case requiring Aconite
no other drug is needed; Aconite will cure the case.

Unless indicated by the exciting cause, is nearly always injurious in


first stages of typhoid fever.

Aggravation. Evening and night, pains are insupportable; in a warm


room; when rising from bed; lying on affected side (Hep., Nux m.).

Amelioration. In the open air (Alum., Mag. c., Puls., Sab.).

Relationship. Complementary: to Coffea in fever, sleeplessness,


intolerance of pain; to Arnica in traumatism; to Sulphur in all cases. Rarely
indicated in fevers which bring out eruptions. Aconite is the acute of
Sulphur, and both precedes and follows it in acute inflammatory conditions.
