MONKSHOOD (Aconitum napellus L.) XThere are 300 species in the poisonous monkshood genus, many containing the alkaloid aconitine,
which imparts its activities to the herb. Aconite was long used in TAM, e.g., A. ferox; and TCM,
e.g., A. carmichaelii, appearing later as a medicine in the Western world. Moerman mentions six
species in North America, all used as poisons. Only Chinese A. carmichaelii was covered by
AHP (1997).
