ACONITUM FEROXLiquid

Aconitum ferox, one of the most important medicinal plants belonging from Ranunculaceae family in the homoeopathic materia medica, acts profoundly on the nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems. In potentized form, it offers vital support in intense neuralgias, respiratory paralysis, sudden systemic collapses, and icy cold states with burning sensations. It is especially helpful in cases marked by fear, restlessness, dyspnoea, and violent burning—physically or mentally. The medicine is suitable for individuals suffering from numbness, paresthesia, or formication that alternates or travels, and for those with strong reactions to temperature changes.

Common Names: Bikh, Ativisha, Indian Aconite
