Aurum Triphylum is prepared from a vegetable that
resembles a gourd and turnip and grows abundantly 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 itching. 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 muscles 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 and 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 may 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
becomes scanty and deep coloured. The administration of Aurum Triphylum 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
