This session is a dedicated academic deep-dive into Aconitum napellus, specifically designed for medical students. In the vast landscape of the Materia Medica, Aconite stands as the "acute of acutes." This class aims to bridge the gap between botanical toxicology and clinical application, ensuring students can confidently identify this remedy in both theory exams and clinical viva-voce.
This class is strictly for medical students (primarily BHMS, Physiotherapy, and Allied Health). It is designed for those who need a structured understanding of the remedy's pathogenesis, from its action on the cerebrospinal nervous system to its characteristic inflammatory response.
What will the students learn?
Source and Toxicology: The botanical origins of "Wolfsbane" and the physiological effects of Aconitine.
The "Aconite Storm": Understanding the rapid onset and the "Acute Triad" (Aconite, Belladonna, Ferrum Phos).
Mental & Physical Keynotes: A detailed breakdown of the intense restlessness, anxiety, and the "prediction of the hour of death" as required for competitive exams.
Causation and Modalities: Mastery of the effects of dry cold winds and suppressed perspiration.
Comparative Materia Medica: How to differentiate Aconite from other acute remedies like Gelsemium or Arsenicum Album during clinical case-taking.
