Typical features

 According to Hahnemann сon. is one of those drugs of which it is exceedingly difficult to distinguish the primary and secondary effects. He thinks, nevertheless, that the primary action is one of rigidity, condensation, and constriction of the fibres, with swelling of the glands and diminution of the senses. In this Teste concurs, adding that the action is primarily inflammatory, and that this accounts for its suitability for persons of a lively, quick, sanguine disposition, with a marked development of the glandular system; and explains why it is characteristically adapted to painful glandular affections, principally such as result from a strain or blow, but the precise cause of which may have escaped our recollection. Teste places сon. at the head of the analogues of Acon. It is to the glands and capillary system what Acon. is to the heart and arterial system. In many cases сon. may be regarded as the Aconite of chronic diseases. The other Aconite analogues, according to this author, are сham., Seneg., сanth., and Phos. ac. сon. corresponds to chronic or subacute inflammation with sanguineous engorgement of the parenchyma, induration, and even subsequent ulceration of the tissues. Thuja represents the slow and progressive hypertrophy of certain tissues, certain constituents of our organs. Stoerck used сonium in his heroic fashion and made with it some notable cures of scirrhous tumours, ulcerating and otherwise; but it was Hahnemann who first showed how the remedy could be used safely as well as effectively. Guernsey writes: This remedy is characterised by a great dizziness, brought on when lying down, and moving the head ever so slightly, or even the eyes-all the contents of the room appear to whirl around; patient wishes to keep the head perfectly still. In urinating the water flows at first in a full stream, then stops, flows again, again stops, &c. Nash illustrates the modality: In the dark; from letting the affected limb hang down; from moving; when walking; by stooping. Aversion to open air. Desire for warmth, especially that of sun. Liability to take cold from least exposure of feet. Great liability to take cold. Night and morning sweat, with offensive odour and smarting in skin; or offensive odour without sweat.
