About the Book: 

Lost in the maze of symptoms & their dryness of expression? Let this book help you with that!

For the beginner in Homoeopathy, looking at the maze of symptoms, different terminologies and dryness of expression doesn’t create much interest as it lacks basic understanding of how Materia Medica has evolved and also various terminologies used which are alien at first sight. After reading a few medicines, everything appears the same in all; it takes a lot of time to understand the basics. One needs a proper orientation and training to come out of this state so that the further journey becomes fascinating and exciting in its comprehension and application. It cannot be comprehended by reading a few books and a few authors! It needs an extensive study in depth and extent to understand the logic and concept of the different Masters. This will require an early introduction to the subject as well as continuous reading. Early introduction also will help in grasping the conceptual backgrounds with which different authors treat the subject and how this influences their writings.

Author’s conscious attempt in keeping the language very simple is aimed at blooming students of materia medica. On going through the book one can understand the sincere efforts taken by author in compiling the data from different sources and presenting it in his own lucid style of writing.

The salient features of the book are, a brief introduction to beginners on what is Materia Medica, and how it is different from other Materia Medica, journey on the history of Materia Medica dating from ancient to modern times, explanations to terms used in Homeopathic Literature, Schuessler 12 Tissue Remedies, methods of studying Homeopathic Materia Medica, Sources Of Materia Medica, Scope / Advantages And Limitations of Homeopathic Materia Medica, Types of Homoeopathic Materia Medica, Relationship of Homoeopathic Remedies, Applied Materia Medica in Learning & and Practice, and Group Remedies of Homeopathic Materia Medica will also be useful to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

 

Thus this book in not another Materia Medica Book where every medicine is explained but it is a book on how the books of Materia Medica need to be understood and studied which become very essential for a new comer to the homoeopathy.
