Constant Concomitants of Aconitum napellus
In homeopathic prescribing, “constant concomitants” are those striking, accompanying symptoms that almost invariably travel with the remedy’s keynote picture. For Aconitum napellus, these hallmark accompaniments are:
– Sudden, violent onset
– Illness springs on after exposure to dry, cold wind or a frightful shock
– Intense heat with dry skin
– Burning heat all over; face bright red or alternately pale and death-like
– Great thirst for large quantities of cold water
– Drinks repeatedly yet remains unsatisfied
– Marked anxiety and restlessness
– Agitated pacing or tossing about; fear of impending death
– Hyper-sensitivity to external stimuli
– Painfully worse from slightest touch, noise or bright light
– Rapid, bounding pulse
– Palpitations with fear; heart seems to “race”
– Absence of perspiration despite fever
– Skin hot and dry; no relief from sweating
– Burning, dryness of mucous membranes
– Mouth, throat and nose feel scorched; hoarseness or raw throat
– Night aggravation around midnight
– All acute symptoms often peak toward late evening
– Neuralgic tingling or numbness
– Sharp, shooting pains alternating with pins-and-needles
These concomitants form the “signature” of Aconitum napellus—when you see this constellation in an acute case, Aconite is the first remedy to consider.
