Lilium Tigrinum 478 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 discomfort 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 insane becomes set in the mind , it is indelible. The patient begins 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 are very intimately related, even to an inseparable extent. If during homoeopathic practice, one can diagnose the psychological condition, the treatment of the related physical condition will help cure both. 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 continued 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 feeling 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
