Titanium metallicum
Titanium · Mineral
Titanium is a remedy of limited but distinctive indications: chiefly vertical hemiopia (seeing only half an object) with associated giddiness, and sexual weakness with premature ejaculation. These two areas—visual disturbance and sexual debility—are the principal keynotes from the proving. It has also been used externally in lupus, tuberculosis, and skin diseases.
Key symptoms
- Hemiopia: only half an object can be seen at once (vertical hemiopia)
- Giddiness with vertical hemiopia
- Too early ejaculation of semen in coitus; sexual weakness
- Desire to keep eyelids closed
- Loss of appetite, nausea; general sense of wretchedness

Is found in the bones and muscles. Has been used in lupus and tuberculosis processes externally, also in skin disease, nasal catarrh, etc. Apples contain 0. 11 per cent of Titan. Imperfect vision, the peculiarity being that half an object only could be seen at once. Giddiness with vertical hemiopia. Also, sexual weakness, with too early ejaculation of semen in coitus. Bright's disease. Eczema, lupus, rhinitis.
Dose
Lower and middle potencies.
Trituration of the copper-red crystals obtained from the slag at the bottom of a blast iron furnace. consisting of Titan. cyanide and Titan. nitride.
Clinical
Hemiopia. Semen, too early ejaculation of.
Characteristics
Titanium (Ti., A. W. 48.1) stands midway between Silicon and Tin in some of its relations; and in other respects it is closely related to Iron, Chromium, and Aluminium. The crystals proved by Sharp (who took gr. ii. of the 1st trit. daily for a week) were originally believed to be the pure metal, but were proved later to be the cyanonitrid. One symptom of the proving is remarkable: "Imperfect vision, the peculiarity being that half an object only could be seen." Another symptom, which Burnett has turned to good account in cases of sexual weakness, is "Too, early ejaculation of semen in coitus."
