Quote:
Aconite (Monkshood) is a homeopathic remedy usually given in the early stages on an acute illness, when there's intense anguish or fearful restlessness (homeopathic remedies are largely determined by the sick individuals state of mind, not just their physical symptoms). Because the poor chicken had gone through such a horrible experience and was obviousely in a state of shock, this was the perfect remedy to use on her. Homeopathy has no side effects, and if chosen correctly, is infinitely more effective than conventional medicine. You can get a "starter kit" with some basic remedies (Aconite should be one of them) at the Health Food Store. If you want to know more about Homeopathy, a really good beginners' book is "Everbody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines" by Stephen Cummings and Dana Ullman.
