Monkshood (Ranunculacea.)

It is generally indicated in acute or recent cases occurring in young persons, especially girls, of a full, plethoric habit who lead a sedentary life; persons easily affected by atmospheric changes; dark hair and eyes, rigid muscular fibre. Complaints caused by exposure to dry cold air, dry north or west winds, or exposure to draughts of cold air while in a perspiration; bad effects of checked perspiration. Great fear and anxiety of mind, with great nervous excitability; afraid to go out, to go into a crowd where there is any excitement or many people; to cross the street. The countenance is expressive of fear; the life is rendered miserable by fear; is sure his disease will prove fatal; predicts the day he will die; fear of death during pregnancy. Restless, anxious, does everything in great haste; must change position often; everything startles him. Pains; are intolerable, they drive him crazy; he becomes very restless; at night. Hahnemann says: "Whenever Aconite is chosen homeopathically, you must, above all, observe the moral symptoms, and be careful that it closely resembles them; the anguish of mind and body; the restlessness; the disquiet not to be allayed.". This mental anxiety, worry, fear accompanies the most trivial ailment. Music is unbearable, makes her sad (Sab., during menses, Nat. c.). On rising from a recumbent position the red face becomes deathly pale, or he becomes faint or giddy and falls, and fears to rise again; often accompanied by vanishing of sight and unconsciousness. Amenorrhoea in plethoric young girls; after fright, to prevent suppression of menses. For the congestive stage of inflammation before localization takes place. Fever; skin dry and hot; face red, or pale and red alternately; burning thirst for large quantities of cold water; intense nervous restlessness, tossing about in agony; becomes intolerable towards evening and on going to sleep. Convulsions; of teething children; heat, jerks and twitches of single muscles; child gnaws its fist, frets and screams; skink hot and dry; high fever. Cough, croup; dry, hoarse, suffocating, loud, rough, croaking; hard, ringing, whistling; on expiration (Caust. - on inhalation, Spong.); from dry, cold winds or drafts of air. Aconite should never be given simply to control the fever, never alternated with other drugs for that purpose. If it be a case requiring Aconite no other drug is needed; Aconite will cure the case. Unless indicated by the exciting cause, is nearly always injurious in first stages of typhoid fever.

Aggravation. Evening and night, pains are insupportable; in a warm room; when rising from bed; lying on affected side (Hep., Nux m.).

Amelioration. In the open air (Alum., Mag. c., Puls., Sab.).

Relationship. Complementary: to Coffea in fever, sleeplessness, intolerance of pain; to Arnica in traumatism; to Sulphur in all cases. Rarely indicated in fevers which bring out eruptions. Aconite is the acute of Sulphur, and both precedes and follows it in acute inflammatory conditions.

• Panic attacks

 From Boericke's materia medica:

(An Internal Secretion of Suprarenal Glands) Adrenalin or Epinephrin, the active principle of the medulla of the suprarenal gland, (cortical secretion not as yet isolated), is employed as a chemical messenger in the regulation of the activities of the body; in fact, its presence is essential to the activity of the sympathetic nerve. Adrenalin action on any part is the same as STIMULATION OF THE SYMPATHETIC NERVE ENDINGS thereto. Local application (1: 1,000 solution) to mucous membranes promptly induces transient ischaemia, seen in a BLANCHING, persisting several hours from conjunctival instillation. Its action is very prompt, efficient, EVANESCENT, owing to rapid oxidation and therefore practically harmless, UNLESS too frequently repeated, when atheroma and heart lesions-myocardial-in animals have been reported. Arteries, heart, supra-renal bodies and vaso-motor system are prominently affected. The main action of Adrenalin is stimulation of the SYMPATHETIC ENDINGS, notably the splanchnic area, causing CONSTRICTION OF THE PERIPHERAL ARTERIOLES, with resulting RISE IN BLOOD PRESSURE. This is especially observed in stomach, intestines; less in uterus, skin; nil in brain and lungs. Furthermore, is noticed, SLOWING OF PULSE, (medullary vagus stimulation), and STRENGTHENING OF HEART BEAT (increased myocardial contractility), resembling Digitalis; increased glandular activity, glycosuria; depression of respiratory center; contraction of muscular tissue of eye, uterus, vagina; relaxation of muscular tissue of stomach, intestines, bladder.

Uses
Its chief therapeutic use depends on its VASO-CONSTRICTION action; therefore a most powerful and prompt ASTRINGENT and HAEMOSTATIC; and invaluable in CHECKING capillary haemorrhages from all parts, where LOCAL or direct application is feasible: nose, ear, mouth, throat, larynx, stomach, rectum, uterus, bladder. Hemorrhagic condition not-due to defective coagulation of the blood. Complete BLOODLESSNESS, ischaemia, may be induced with impunity. Locally, solutions (1 :10,000-1 :1,000) sprayed or applied on cotton have been very efficient in bloodless operations about the eye, nose, throat, and larynx. Congestions of the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, also hay fever, have been markedly alleviated by warm spray of Adrenalin chloride, 1 : 5,000. Here compare, Hepar lx, which will start up secretions and so facilitate drainage. Werlhoff's disease, hypodermically, 1 :1,000. Externally, it has been used in neuritis, neuralgia, reflex pains, gout, rheumatism, as an ointment, 1-2 m. of (1 :1,000) solution, along the nerve trunk at point of skin nearest its origin which could be reached (H.G. Carlton). Therapeutically, Adrenalin has been suggested in acute congestion of lungs, ASTHMA, Grave's and Addison's diseases, arteriosclerosis, chronic aortitis, angina pectoris, haemophilia, chlorosis, hay fever, serum rashes, acute urticaria, etc. Dr. P. Jousset reports success in treating, homeopathically, cases of angina and of aortitis, sub-acute and chronic, when Adrenalin has been prescribed PER OS and in infinitesimal dose. The symptom guiding to this is, SENSATION OF THORACIC CONSTRICTION WITH ANGUISH. This, with vertigo, nausea and vomiting have been produced by the drug. ABDOMINAL PAIN. SHOCK or heart failure during anesthesia, as it causes very prompt rise of blood pressure by its action on nerve endings in the vessel wall.
