This print showcases the delicate beauty of White Monkshood flowers, scientifically known as Aconitum sp. or Aconitum albo-violaceum. Found in Russia, these stunning blooms have a dual nature - they possess both medicinal properties and toxicity. White Monkshood is renowned for its use in traditional medicine as a sedative and painkiller (analgesic). Its potent qualities make it an effective remedy for various ailments.

It invites contemplation on alternative approaches to healing and our reliance on natural remedies that complement conventional medicine.
