What is that
L"Aconite napellus - also known as aconite napello, or more simply, aconite - is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Ranuncolaceae family.
For several years, moreover, aconite has also been exploited by traditional medicine for the treatment of pain of neuralgic origin.
Currently, the aconite napello is considered as a plant as beautiful as it is toxic and, for this reason, its use in the field of traditional medicine has now been abandoned. However, it still finds several applications in the homeopathic field.
Botanical Description
As mentioned, the napello aconite is a perennial herbaceous plant, which can reach a height between 0.5 and 1.5 meters. The leaves are large palmatoosette, alternate and variously engraved. The flowers are pedunculated and blue-purple (but there are also other species of aconite whose flowers are yellow).
The hypogeal part of the stem is usually a fusiform tuberous rhizome and the roots are secondary to rhizome.
