Arum Triphyllum

 
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
