Aconite

Another of those wonderful homeopathic remedies that have a physical and a mental emotion aspect. We use it for any complaint that comes on after exposure to cold , dry conditions.

So this could be a cough or a cold, sore throat, fever or chill. Symptoms come on suddenly and unexpectedly and will be accompanied by some anxiety or fear.

Aconite will calm this anxiety and get to work on the fever or inflammation process that has started.If you can manage to take a dose or two in the first few hours following the onset of the symptoms, you will usually find that the cold or flu just fades away as the body successfully combats the bacteria or virus.
