Aconitie Root

Processed Aconitie Root
Processed Aconite Root is the tuberous root of Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux or Aconitum japonicum Thunberg (Ranunculaceae) and prepared by the defined processing method.
Processed Aconite Root contains aconitine and other ingredients, and is said to have analgesic and cardiotonic effects. The original plants, Aconitum carmichaeli or Aconitum japonicum, are very toxic, so they are processed to attenuate its toxicity, and then used as crude drugs.
