Liliaceae

Lilium Tigrinum (Tiger Lily)

Proving:

A sense “As if she were going to be crazy”, if she did not hang on to herself, and hold tight.

Profound mental depression; the prover "the heavens seemed brass and the earth iron;" an apprehension of moral obliquity weighed grievously upon her, for about ten days after the sexual excitement, and continuing # with the sexual excitement for more than four months after the proving.

< going to bed; can't go to sleep; wild feeling in the head as though i should go crazy and no one would take care of me; thoughts of suicide; how much Opium would put me to sleep forever, and who would find my body, and who would care; a new train of thought for her.

While attending a lecture, desire to hit the lecturer and in the evening desirous of swearing and damning the fire and things generally, and to think and speak obscene things; disposed to strike and hit persons; as these feelings came, the uterine pains passed away

It is a glamourous flower, and the woman can be passionate and beautiful. She has a strong sense of her own importance. Her personality can be haughty and domineering, her presence makes others cower. She has mood swings and is impatient and easily provoked; she is oversensitive. Once she takes offence she can be quite nasty - you might get a slap!

Lil-t imagines she is attractive, but flirtation is restrained by religion or just keeping busy (the theme of penance has been recorded). They can be Evangalists, or join the Salvation Army.

Veratrum Album (Hellebore)

[Farrington]

Used for cholera since Hahnemanns time. It seems to act prominently on the abdominal organs, probably through the splanchnic nerves. When these nerves are paralyzed the blood-vessels becomes over-charged with blood and pour forth their serum. The prostration the coldness and the terrible sinking sensation that belong to Veratrum all start from these nerves.

It is indicated in delirium when there is restlessness, with desire to cut and tear the clothing, with loquacity and rapid, earnest, loud talking; he strikes those about him; anxiety; frightened at imaginary things; lasciviousness; lewdness in talk; he springs out of bed and rushes about the rooms if thereby to obtain relief.

Verat. is distinguished from Bell and Stram by coldness, esp. cold sweat on the forehead.

Image: We can visualize Veratrum as someone attractive who has grown up with every comfort of privilege (Contemptuous: "Don’t contradict me! I'm never wrong"), she realizes isn't really wanted anymore.

She loves routine and fears loss of wealth and status because they make her feel that she "belongs".

She would loosing everything if she was pushed away - as in a divorce. Holding on to a egotistical attitude doesn't help much!

When the bubble bursts it all ends in a state of shock and depression. Verat. might fall back on a sense

of Spirituality if he has the delusion that he is doing Gods will here on earth. Deep down he knows he

is deluding himself to some extent ... which another source of anxiety. (Compare with Nux-v and Lyc.)

Uses every possible means to reach his goal.

Restless activity, works her way up

Boasting: Spending money. Wishes to be considered rich

Delusion, she is distinguished, a great person

Delusion: religious, appointed by god

Comtemptious, censorius, haughty, righteousness - hard on inferiors.

Flattering, affectionate, embraces everyone - respects superiors

Theme: Anxiety of being pushed away and abandoned. In Lac Caninum there is a sense of inferiority and dependence, which could manifest as the fear of being abandoned

Therapeutics: Cholera and intussusception (telescoping) of the bowels, with vomiting and purging, rice-water stool, colic and cramp.

Similars: Ars. Carb-v. Kali-c. MERC. PH-ac. Sil.

Shared: Foreboding. Cheerful or discoraged. Hurried Obstinate. Rage. Mania. Insanity. Alcoholism.

Sabadilla

Closely related to Veratrum. The state can be brought on by fright and hysteria. It may be used (like Veratrum) in cases of imaginary diseases, e.g. false pregnancy.

Proving: The mind seems overexcited, tense, the disposition however is little sensitive, cold; but after several days the understanding is decidedly depressed; he can with difficulty comprehend many things, thinks slowly; the disposition, however, is more easily excited, everything deeply affects him.

Strange thoughts, confusion of identity, (Thuj) mixed with revulsion of ones body or sensations of deformity, especially shrinking or enlargement. Proving: He imagines all sorts of strange things about his own body, for instance, that it had shrunk like that of dead persons, that his stomach was corroded, that the scrotum was swollen, etc.; he knows that all this is fanciful; he continues to imagine it,

The sensation of enlargement can be experienced mentally as a belief that he is appointed (or deserted) by God.

Veratrum viride

[Farrington]

Veratrum viride produces congestions of the base of the brain and of the upper portion of the spinal cord. It this interferes with the function of the pneumogastric nerves. At first it seems to produce engorgement of the lungs, just such as we witness in the beginning of the pneumonia. We have dizziness and faintness on attempting to sit up, nausea, cold sweat and orthopnoea (has to sleep propped up - a symptom of heart failure), and in fact every symptom of paralysis of the heart from over-exertion of that organ.

Thus you will see that Veratrum viride comes in as an invaluable remedy in those violent congestions which precede pneumonia. It may even abort the whole disease.
