## Keynote Indications
Aurum Triphylum is prepared from a vegetable that resembles a gourd
and turnip and grows a bundantly in the forest.  Its poison causes
intense irritation and tingling on contact with the body.  The
homoeopathic form has been found very affective against intense
nasal irritation at the tip of the nose.  Children who pick their nose and
cause ulceration respond well to Aurum Triphylum.

During catarrhal conditions, when the eyes itch and water and the
upper eyelids feel tremulous, Aurum Triphylum may offer relief.  The
symptoms of cold are very intense, and associated with copious,
watery discharge and severe itchi ng.  The brain feels drained out.
Prolonged Irritation and tingling of the throat may result in numbness
and lack of sensitivity.  Swallowing may be impaired due to the
weakness of the appropriate muscle s of the throat.  A person may
choke with the fluids or food, if not careful.  The  tonsils swell and the
mouth feels raw and burns with the feeling of suffocation at the throat.
The tongue is red with a burning  and tingling sensation.  This
condition is called strawberry tongue.  There is painful
blistering  of
the mouth cavity causing difficulty in even swallowing water.  Aurum
Triphylum has an extraordinary effect in such cases.  The voice waves
and wanes.   Too much talking a nd cold suppresses  the voice, which
occasionally becomes loud.

There is loss of appetite, however, to relieve the headache one has to
eat.  The diarrhoeal stools  are as in typhoid fever (pea soup
appearance).

The lungs hurt.  The inner lining  becomes itchy or painful due to
irritation.  If not treated in time, the viscera (internal organs) become
paralysed.  Intestinal movements ma y not stop completely but they
definitely become sluggish.  Symptoms of Aurum Triphylum are more
pronounced on the left side of the head, face and nose.  When the
chest is badly affected, urination be comes scanty and deep coloured.
The administration of Aurum Tri phylum will restore normal, clear
urination.  (In Gelsemium, urine is  clear and copious.)  The skin
develops specks like measles.  The skin feels raw and starts oozing on

mild scratching.  The headache becomes worse by drinking hot fluids
or wrapping oneself in warm clothing.
