Lilium Tigrinum (HMT)

📖 Lilium Tigrinum (HMT) Introduction

Lilium Tig is considered to be the friend of women. It is particularly very useful in the treatment of women of hysterical and impulsive nature who chronically suffer from uterine and heart conditions. Their mind is occupied with dou btful thoughts, fear and anxiety. They have a feeling as if their uter us and internal or gans are sagging down, which they unknowingly keep on trying to push up. The periods in such patients begin before time, are scanty but quite foul. They may also pass dark blood clots. Bleeding increases on movement and stops on resting and on lying down. A Lilium Tig patient happens to be a religious fanatic. If she is a sadist and of hysterical nature, she can best be treated with Lilium Tig. While behaving in a stubborn or hysterical way, a Lilium Tig patient talks nonsense; whereas in her normal life she is quite rational. The patient indulges in useless argumen tation only under the influence of this disease. Generally, young boys and girls continue to argue even if they know that they are wrong. Peop le who diet excessively may also develop this tendency, although they are not Lilium Tig patients. Excessive dieting can aff ect thinking temporarily. However prolonged scrupulous dieting can leav e permanent ill effects on their mind for life. Therefore, it is extremely important to avoid over dieting. A balanced diet and suitabl e exercise, rather than starvation, are the best means to control body we ight and achieve good health, or the person will acquire the stubborn nature and illogical argumentation of Lilium Tig due to starvation. Like Hyoscyamus and Cantharis, there is a tendency towards sexual ecstasy. However, in Lilium Tig, unlik e Hyoscyamus and Cantharis, the sexual urge becomes a chronic illness that is very difficult to overcome. Regarding the response to heat and cold, Lilium Tig resembles Pulsatilla i.e. the heat aggravates the symptoms with a burning sensation of the hands and feet. In Lilium Tig, the headache is mostly localised to the forehead. Light is unbearable. The eyesight becomes weak . The patient may even become temporarily blind . The room appears pitch dark and shadows dance before the eyes. The eyes become inflamed. If the inflammation becomes chronic, then the eyes become swollen forever. One symptom resembles that of Merc Cor e.g. the dysentery in which the patient continues to feel discom fort and griping even after having passed the stools. In Merc Cor, the patient has only the feeling of incomplete opening of the bowels, while in Lilium Tig the patient continues to feel like going to the lavatory all the time. Like Merc Cor, the patient also feels a burning sensation even after having passed the urine. Once the scary thought of becoming insa ne becomes set in the mind, it is indelible. The patient be gins to think himself of being something or somebody else. He cannot avoid this supposition. This is typical of Lilium Tig. The patient frequently goes into severe sadness and depression. I have, by God’s grace, successfully treated many such young men. In addition to the medication, the patient also requires counselling with love and affection. In general, psychological and physical ailments ar e very intimately related, even to an inseparable extent. If dur ing homoeopathic practice, one can diagnose the psychological conditi on, the treatment of the related physical condition will help cure bot h. If the mind is at peace, the body will also feel relief. Some of the Lilium Tig patients believe that they have not been properly understood. It becomes very difficult to avoid them and their useless c ontinued argumentation. One cannot make them understand in any way. They should just be given the appropriate treatment. If the treatment becomes effective, they will return to normality, otherwise they will forever insist that nobody has been able to understand them properly. In Lilium Tig, heart conditions also exist i.e. sudden feeling of the heart being caught in a vice. This f eeling is even stronger than that of Cactus. The pulse is very rapid and irregular. Over the area of the heart, the patient feels cold and heavy. The patient feels suffocated amongst a crowd and in a heated, closed room. In Lilium Tig, there is a lot of gas in the stomach , with a feeling of heaviness. The patient feels very hungry and especially desires to eat meat. He also remains very thirsty. Urination is frequent , but scanty. The urine feels warm and milky white in colour. Lilium Tig ailments aggravate in a heated room and with outward superficial consolation. The patient feels better in open air. Antidote: Helonias Potency: 30 to 200
