Aeon, grows in the damp \nand covered parts of almost every mountainous country in north or middle of Europe, especially in Switzerland, \nGermany and Sweden. It grows in high altitudes where there is a lot of wind, storms and activity.  It is a very \npoisonous herb, vinegar in large doses is antidotal to the toxic effects. Aconite in potencies above the 4c is a \nperfectly safe medicine for any age. \nBefore Hahnemann's time Aconite had a reputation as a sudorific and in cases of rheu matism, sciatica and \ntumors, but it was not until Hahnemann proved it that its properties  were really understood. Aconite was the \nremedy by means of which Hahnemann was able to meet most of the conditions, which in his day were treated \nby bloodletting. \nDr. Hughes has remarked that the condi tion to which Aeon, is homeopathic is one of tension. Emotional and \nmental tension, as shown in fright or fear and its consequences, anxiety and fear of death, tension of the \nsystemic vessels, as in the effects of a chill. \nAsiatic cholera and hemorrhages. Muscular tension, as in tetanus. Tension of involuntary muscles, as in heart \nspasms. Tension of the semi-involuntary muscular apparatus of respiration, as in asthma. \nHahnemann described it as a tempest, Kent, too.

Violent \nreactions to fright or weather conditions. \nTeste related a remarkable case of an Englishman who had been obliged to take a long sleigh journey in North \nRussia in midwinter. He suffered thereafter for two years from violent paroxysms of palpi tations and acute \nstitching pains in the heart region, threatening brain strokes. \nAneurysm had been diagnosed by leading physicians in England and on the Continent. Teste localized the \naffection to neurosis or spasm of the pectoralis major muscle and prove d his diagnosis by promptly curing it \nwith Aeon. \nChill and fever. Fevers with restlessness and tossing about, often accompanied with anxiety that sometimes \nleads to fear of death. Aeon, can ward off serious results from chill, fright, injury or surgical op eration. \nIt was the feverish restlessness of the Aeon, provings that led Hahnemann to infer its similarity to fever states. \nIt is the presence of this restlessness, anxiety, fear and exalted sensibility that are its leading indications in \ncases of all kinds. \nHigh fevers, sudden surges of body temperature.
