Lilium Tigrinum 477 LILIUM TIGRINUM (Tigor Lily) 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 doubtful thoughts, fear and anxiety. They have a feeling as if their uterus and internal organs 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 argumentation only under the influence of this disease. Generally, young boys and girls continue to argue even if they know that they are wrong. People who diet excessively may also develop this tendency, although they are not Lilium Tig patients. Excessive dieting can affect thinking temporarily. However prolonged scrupulous dieting can leave permanent ill effects on their mind for life. Therefore, it is extremely important to avoid over dieting. A balanced diet and suitable exercise, rather than starvation, are the best means to control body weight 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, unlike 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.
