How to Use Homeopathic Aconite for Anxiety

Anxiety can manifest in different ways with varied symptoms and can be common during extreme stress. Fatigue, stage-fright, or any case of jangled nerves can be labeled as anxiety. How can Aconite help if you have anxiety? Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars. If your symptoms are similar to aconite, the homeopathic medicine can help. Otherwise there will likely be no noticeable improvement.


Aconite is a perennial of the Buttercup family. The common plant name is Monkshood due to the helmet shaped appearance of the blue (usually) flowers. The herb is poisonous and should never be used on broken skin. The preparation of a homeopathic remedy involves a process of dilution leaving scant to no physical traces of the material substance, therefore homeopathic aconite is safe.
