Energy and Immunity
Homeopathic Aconite regulates the body’s core temperature. It neutralizes excess heat in the body to lower fevers, and generates heat to protect the body from colds and loss of energy. Aconite supports the body during travel, times of stress, or when the body is most susceptible to catching a cold - especially when a change in weather brings on a chill. Aconite is recommended to take at the onset of symptoms such as a scratchy throat, mild fever, fatigue, or malaise.
