Aconite (monkshood)
Aconitum napellus
A key remedy for stabilizing blood pressure after a stroke, especially when fear, panic, or residual shock drive the pressure up.

Key indications
- Best for: Stabilizing blood pressure after stroke
- Sudden blood pressure surges with pounding heart and anxiety
- Restlessness and fear of death remaining after the stroke
- Hot, dry skin with a full, bounding pulse
