You can feel the start of a cold or flu coming. You know the signs, you’ve had them so often.
At this point, if you take the remedy Aconite, you’ll probably nip the whole thing in the bud. Just a few doses, whenever you feel the symptoms return over the course of a day and that will probably be it.
Be the envy of your work colleagues who fall like flies!
Aconite is made from a plant and those who do best on plant based remedies tend to get their symptoms quite quickly, over a few hours. So you might go to bed feeling fine, but wake up in the middle of the night as if you’re in the middle of a cold or flu.
Other people may take days to reach the same point (discussed in later eletters).
So if you’re in this quick onset category, I suggest you keep a bottle of Aconite handy especially in the flu season.
Aconite works on a broad spectrum of people within the first 24 or so hours. After that it’s effectiveness is more limited to the quick onset type of person.
Aconite is brilliant at effectively dealing with the first signs of allergies, too. Generally allergic attacks happen quite quickly, so you can see why this remedy will work so well.
Frequently, symptoms start in the middle of the night, as this is a weak time for Aconite sufferers.
Another weak spot is when symptoms (of any complaint) arise after a dry wind, be it hot or cold. Hot, dry winds are common in the summer where I live and it always heralds a flurry of hay fever sufferers.
I remember reading of a little boy who was suddenly taken with appendicitis in the middle of the night and was rushed to hospital where, fortunately there was a homeopathic doctor present. She remembered that there had been a cold, dry wind the day before, so gave the boy a few doses of Aconite.
Whereupon his pain disappeared and he was spared the knife, with no ill effects.
Aconite is also one of the top remedies for shock. Shock from a scary event, such as an accident, from a poisonous bite, from witnessing a shocking event, there are many ways we can experience shock. The key really here, is if we remain stuck in the shock - for instance you can’t sleep, you tremble or shake a lot, you can’t venture outside the house.
Although, in these instances you will need a much higher potency than is available in home prescribing kits, so see a professional homoeopath.
These are all signs that you haven’t been able to process the shock and homeopathy is brilliant for helping you to do just this.
Once I saw one of my cats play with a baby dugite, a poisonous snake. I didn’t interfere as I thought I could make things worse. But when she came in that evening, she was very wobbly - obviously been bitten. So I alternated her snake bite remedy with Aconite.
After a couple hours of dosing and a good night’s sleep, she was back to normal the next day.
Doesn’t that just blow you away?
Compare that with the alternatives...
Daily, I’m so thankful I found homeopathy.
Daily, I want to shout about it from the rooftops...
And the great thing is, if you didn’t manage to choose the right remedy, nothing happens. You can’t do any harm. Just nothing happens.
