APPLICATION OF

PRACTICAL

Dr.Ankit Srivastava@internationalcopyright2014!!

The life-work of the student of the homoeopathic Materia Medica is one of constant comparison and differentiation. He must compare the pathogenesis of a remedy with the recorded anamnesis of the patient..

Utility of Homoeopathic Materia Medica.

To enable the student or practitioner to do this correctly and rapidly he must have as a basis for comparison some knowledge of the individuality of the remdey; something that is peculiar, uncommon, or sufficiently characteristic in the confirmed pathogenesis of a polychrest remedy that may be used as a pivotal point of comparison...

TO KNOW THE PATHOGENETIC POWER

TO INDIVIDUALISE

FOR COMPARISON

The vast collection of symptoms of which the Materia Medica is composed is incomprehensible without an understanding of the principles upon which it is based, along with meaning of symptoms, their method of classification and interpretation…

Philosophical Frame Work


While the Materia Medica, in the books, is a simple record of

observed facts, in the mind of practitioners it becomes the subject of

the reflection, of comparison & of

hypothetical reasoning, which will be more or less just & valuable according to the measures of the practitioners natural

ability & of his intellectual cultures.

- Carol

Dunham


Learn to erect the Totality of a case.

Learn to match the portrait of the patient with that of the image constructed through a study of the source books and commentaries.

Learn the process of differentiation between closely coming remedies.

Learn the process of building the acute totality of a patient and of the drug in the Materia Medica.


…We admit that it would be desirable, and that it is necessary to a complete elaboration of our Materia Medica, that our modern diagnostic contrivances should be applied to our drug-provings, but we cannot admit for all that, that our present Materia Medica is not adequate to an exhaustive diagnosis of the natural disease. For in the drug-disease we lay no less stress upon the physiological connection of the symptoms than in the natural disease. In the drug-disease, likewise, we have to possess a lucid apprehension of the relative value and significance of the symptoms, of their origin, succession, final tendency, in short, of all the circumstances a knowledge of which we have to acquire in the case…

APH.210 FOOT NOTE • Thus Aconite will seldom or never effect either a rapid or permanent cure in a patient of a quiet, calm, equable disposition, and just as little will Nux vomica be serviceable where the disposition is mild and phlegmatic, Pulsatilla where it is happy, gay and obstinate, or Ignatia where it is imperturbable and disposed neither to be frightened nor vexe.
