Aconitum

A beautiful high-mountain plant — Aconitum.

Poisonous. It is also called Borets (“Wrestler”), Tsar-grass, black root, and black potion.

In Greek mythology it is associated with Heracles — it represents the saliva of Cerberus as he sprang out of the realm of Hades. Warriors rubbed it onto arrowheads when hunting.

Aconitum expresses the archetype of the Guardian. In homeotherapy it is used for acute states: pain, shock, fright, panic, and anxiety. It is useful for feelings of powerlessness and doom.

It helps with stress, palpitations, and feelings of vulnerability.

It helps develop a sense of safety, self-confidence, and the state of the Fearless Guardian.
