Aconite, known as wolfsbane, is the dried root of certain Aconitum species. Historically it has been used in very small, carefully prepared doses as a pain reliever and to treat nerve pain, though today it is rarely used internally and is usually found only in homeopathic preparations. Because its alkaloids are highly toxic, ingestion can cause severe poisoning, so the herb should never be taken without professional supervision.
