Lilium Tigrinum is a homeopathic remedy prepared from the tiger lily. In homeopathic practice it is traditionally associated with women's pelvic complaints — especially a strong bearing-down sensation, as though the pelvic organs might fall out — together with a hurried, anxious, irritable emotional state.
Here we look at Lilium Tigrinum's plant source, its classic homeopathic indications, the characteristic picture, and the forms and potencies available.
The short version: Lilium Tigrinum is the tiger-lily remedy traditionally linked to pelvic bearing-down sensations and a hurried, anxious mood.
What is Lilium Tigrinum and where does it come from?
Lilium Tigrinum is made from the tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium / tigrinum), a vivid orange, spotted garden lily. The fresh flowering plant is prepared homeopathically through dilution and succussion. It came into use in the nineteenth century and quickly became known as a remedy with a strong pelvic and emotional picture.
What is Lilium Tigrinum traditionally used for in homeopathy?
Lilium Tigrinum's picture links the pelvis and the emotions. It is associated with:
- A downward, bearing-down pressure in the pelvis, as if everything might drop out, often making a woman want to cross her legs or sit.
- Menstrual and menopausal complaints with this dragging quality.
- Hurried restlessness — a constant sense of being driven and pressed for time.
- Irritability and anxiety, sometimes with a low, tearful mood.
- Palpitations that accompany the anxious, hurried state.
Who reaches for Lilium Tigrinum? The typical picture
The Lilium picture combines a physical sense of downward pressure with an emotional sense of being rushed and torn — busy, anxious and easily overwhelmed. Complaints often feel better with pressure and support, such as sitting or crossing the legs, and worse from standing or being on the feet. There can be a striking contrast between hurried agitation and low mood.
