Reason for use

Acts profoundly upon the female generative organs, and upon the heart ; in the former producing irritation, congestion, and subacute inflammation, together with the various forms of uterine displacement.

Through reflex action it depresses the action of the heart and produces symptoms of cardiac irritability, palpitation, etc.

The chief characteristic of Lilium is a bearing-down sensation in the uterine region, as if everything would press out of the vagina.

Characteristic symptoms.

▲ Worse

At night, from loss of self-control

▼ Better

During the day; from fresh air; from keeping busy; in warm room
