The homoeopathic materia medica: A different perspective

Abstract

A true homoeopathic physician should have an artistic mind as homoeopathy is an art. The artist in the homoeopath can be able to analyse the patient symptoms and get the true totality of each individual case. He can apply the correct similimum to his suffering patient based on the totality of symptom. A good physician must have the ability to make the totality of each individual case and selecting the appropriate remedy to that totality. An excellent prescription is based on a physician’s ability to perceive the symptoms, arrangement of symptoms on its merit and a thorough knowledge of materia medica.In this article I try to focus on the main issues in application of materia medica and possible solutions to that.
