Aconitum is said to be strongly poisonous! When those root parts are eaten it may reduce your pulse and cause a heart malfunction!

On the other hand aconitum is a homeopathic agent that may be prescribed if a sickness has a very strong initial phase with extremely high temperature for example.

I believe that there is a difference, as most of my literature says that there is. However, I understand that species can vary in name a lot from country to country. I often find that species names are not at all consistent, even in the same country. I'm not entirely sure, how to get a definative answer, do you know?!

When I first came and read I did not think people where commenting on them or they were too old to comment on so I was just irritating folks. smiley - blush

I thought I would leave comments this time around. Might add some interest in entries with all the new folks comingsmiley - smiley

I see the aces are over worked right now with all the new comers.
