Most notably, monks, who wrote "chzhud-Shi"in the seventh century of our era, used the Aconite primarily for the treatment of tumors, to a lesser extent, to the eradication of infections.

Pliny the Elder, author of"Natural history"mentions the Aconite, as the remedy of eye diseases. Scientist cites numerous instances of healing the sick from glaucoma and blindness with the help of the juice of Aconite, but warns of the toxicity of this plant and calls it"vegetable arsenic".

The most careful attention to the Aconite, as anti-cancer remedy was given by the Vienna physician Anton Sterk (1731-1803). This is the first doctor, who documented research poisonous plants. Stark tried empirically the dose of Aconite, which is optimal for the treatment of malignant tumors, and the maximum allowable for a person.

In 1869, in the authoritative London newspaper "the Lancet"there was a long article about the homeopathic treatment of cancer. The main character is a medical publication was the Aconite, which was considered the most powerful tool against malignant tumors of any localization. The authors cited several cases of recovery of cancer patients who took tincture of Aconite.

Somewhat earlier, in 1838, the Russian magazine"Sovremennik"published a letter by Vladimir dal to a friend, Dr. Odoevskogo, which was called"About homeopathy."The famous author of the explanatory dictionary and researcher of rural life Dahl tells how with the help of the wolfsbane, he was able to cure the Bashkir from severe pneumonia.

Other uses of Aconite

Western growers and experts in the field of landscape design cultivate poorly a few poisonous species of Aconite for decorative purposes: Aconitum variegatum, Aconitum lycoctonum, Aconitum napellus, Aconitum and Aconitum cammarum stoerckeanum, better known as "bicolor". All this graceful low (1-1,2 m) shrubs with lush pyramidal inflorescences, consisting of many beautiful purple, blue, white-blue and yellow colors. Garden the types of Aconite as wild, very low maintenance and not prone to destructive action of insects-pests, as they are at least a little, but poisonous.

Beekeepers are recommended to eradicate a thicket of Aconite near the apiaries, because there are many cases of poisoning and death of bees, collecting nectar and pollen from the Aconite.

Chemical composition of Aconite

In the stems, leaves, flowers and roots of Aconite contains two types of alkaloids:

• Atsinova;
• Aconitine.

The first type of volatile alkaloids are not toxic, it represents a 5-7 – shaped molecular structure, by hydrolysis decaying into arcanin and organic acid. In fact, atsinova alkaloids are mono - and diesters of benzoic and acetic acids. They are contained in the Aconite in very small quantities, and determine its beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system of man.

The second type alkaloids, named after the plant itself, much more interesting. These alkaloids are represented by hypogonadism, mesaconitine, sachitano and the aconitine. They do not dissolve in water, slightly in ether, well in chloroform. Hydrolysis break up into benzoic andacetic acid, gioachin, mesaconyl or akonin respectively. Acontinued the highest concentration of alkaloids in the tubers of the plant: for example, Aconite Jungar it can reach 4%.

In addition to toxic alkaloid in the roots of Aconite contain:

• Sugar;

• Daucosterol;
• Pseudaconitine;
• Mesoinositol;
• Saponins;
• Flavones;
• Resin;
• Coumarin;
• Starch;
• Organic acids (citric, benzoic, transcontinenta, stearic, oleic, linoleic, palmitic).

In the aerial parts of Aconite also contains:

• Tanning substances;
• About two dozen of micro - and macroelements;
• Inositol;
• Flavonoids;
• Vitamin C.

The toxicity of Aconite depends on the species, soil type and time of collection. In marshy and flooding areas are growing less poisonous bushes. Collected in spring and autumn, the tubers of Aconite more toxic, but weaker effect on the heart than those harvested in winter.

It should be understood that it is a poisonous plant that contains aconitine and its subtypes. Atsinova alkaloids dangerous to humans can not imagine, but in nature, very few species of Aconite, which includes only these nontoxic substances. The vast majority of plants in varying degrees, toxic.

You can check this by experiment: if you RUB your finger with the juice of Aconite, the skin will first begin to itch and burn, and then the time will lose its sensitivity. The stronger the effect, the more toxic plant. The alkaloid aconitine, first irritates the nerve endings and then rapidly paralyzes them. Conduct such experiments in principle, not recommended, and to use them for grated roots at all dangerous.

The action of Aconite on the human body

By way of effects on the human nervous system aconitine is similar to the poison curare. That's why if hazardous doses of this alkaloid in the body, death occurs by paralysis of the respiratory center. With the medical purpose use only tiny doses of aconitine, and the therapeutic effect occurs only after the gradual accumulation of alkaloid in the blood.

A tiny amount of aconitine normalizes heart rhythm and breathing and activatescellular metabolism, prevents the growth of infections and inhibits the growth of tumors. And large quantities of this alkaloid causes muscle paralysis, suffocation and death, so the main task of the homeopath is choosing the right dosage.

Immediately after ingestion of water with dissolved tincture of Aconite in humans, there is an increased salivation. This is because the poisonous alkaloid irritating the parasympathetic nerve if absorbed through the oral mucosa. Also in the first hours after ingestion even in a healthy person is reduced body temperature.

Pronounced therapeutic effect can only be achieved with regular intake of alkaloid. The substance has to accumulate in the body and provoke an immune response. Only then will defenses aktiviziruyutsya, and people will begin to fight the disease. When treatment is necessary to consider that the decoction of Aconite acts in two times weaker than an alcohol tincture.
