Among the ancient medicinal materials, Aconite is known as the "king of herbs" and "all-purpose grass". The ancients believed that Aconite has the effects of unblocking the meridians, activating collaterals, warming menstrual blood, dispelling wind and dampness, refreshing the brain and refreshing the mind. According to the ancient book "Compendium of Materia Medica", Aconite can treat various illnesses, such as colds, lung diseases, coughs, strokes and paralysis. In ancient times, aconite was commonly used to make medicine and was made into pills, powders, wine and other dosage forms, and became one of the important medicinal materials for people to treat diseases.
As early as the Warring States Period, Aconite has been used for medical treatment and is known as "the best medicine". "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" contains detailed explanations and application experience of Aconite. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shizhong of the Tang Dynasty became an important researcher and user of aconite, and he created a new era of medicinal use of aconite. In the Song Dynasty, Aconite was used to treat rheumatism, soreness of waist and legs, etc., and played a huge role. Until now, Aconite is still very valuable in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. It is not only an indispensable ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine preparations, but also one of the irreplaceable drugs in modern medicine.
Although aconite has great medical effects, it is also very toxic. Therefore, special caution is needed when using Aconite. The toxic components (such as cicada salt, strychnine, etc.) contained in aconite can cause obvious damage to the human nervous system, and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, when using Aconite, you must pay attention to the dosage and usage, and strictly follow the doctor's instructions. At the same time, you should also choose formal channels when purchasing Aconite to avoid purchasing fake and shoddy products of poor quality.
