The Lilium Tigrinum is a well-known showy, orange-colored, coarse-flowered, garden plant, very abundant in cultivation, and is a native of China and Japan. It belongs to the Liliaceae family, and the medicine is prepared from fresh stalks, leaves, and flowers. Lilium Tig is chiefly a woman’s remedy and is especially suited to hysterical women, who suffer from uterine troubles, cardiac troubles, and various nervous manifestations.
The Lilium Tigrinum Lady:
Lilium Tig can often be overlooked as Sepia or Nat Mur and they have a certain conspicuous resemblance with each other. Lilium Tig is rather compact, firmly set up, fairly full-blooded, and fair rather than dark. She is not the soft and yielding type by any means, nor unduly aggressive as the Natrum Mur, and quite different from the resentful attitude of the Sepia. So, there is a quite separate personality for Lilium tigrinum. She is more fat rather than thin, and a hot remedy. The face is dull and often has blue lips. They are apt to be a bit cyanotic generally and rather full-lipped.
Personality & Mental Symptoms:
The main theme of Lilium Tig is religious fervor alternating with an increased sexual desire. This is very contrasting and so the patient considers this high sexual desire as absolutely sinful and always tries to repress it. She always feels tormented about her salvation. In order to repress her “sinful” thoughts, she tries to indulge in some form of activity. There is a constant hurried feeling, of imperative duties and utter inability to perform.
Due to her constant anxiety and turmoil within, she can hardly speak a decent word with anyone. She is irritable, snappish, and cannot be pacified. Consolation aggravates. Disposed to curse, to strike, to think of obscene things.
There is envy, she is dissatisfied with her own things. All her mental complaints, her weepiness, apprehensiveness, timidity, cursing, etc. come along with her uterine complaints.
Physical General Symptoms:
Dr. N.M. Choudhari in his book wonderfully explains the physical spheres of action.
