## Keynote Indications
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.
