UNDERSTANDING
HOMEOPATHIC MATERA MEDICA
PENDING
You may have noticed that the materia
medica sometimes has lots of information about
a remedy and sometimes only one line. You would be quite
right in asking how one is supposed to select a 'constitutional'
remedy based on one line of symptoms, as this is surely
the very opposite of good homeopathy?
Selection of the remedy is one thing , it's
effect is another. A remedy may be chosen on a totality
or a keynote , it's effect may stiull be fully 'constitutional'
(explain simillimum. A remedy chosen on a lot of information
may have the same constitutional effect as one chosen on
far less. Nonetheless if we are to avoid relying on pure
luck we need to understand and use the principle of single
dose single remedy
Totality versus keynote, when to use which.
the use of modalities, repetrtorising, its part in the process.
Each remedy
description has several sections and it can be confusing
to the newcomer to understand how to differentiate one remedy
from another, or which sections to take into consideration
and which to ignore, this is where the
'KEYNOTES'
come in handy. There
are many apparent contradictions in the materia medica which
are resolved by study and experience. Usually they mean
that either of the symptoms or modalities may be present
e.g. fear and fearlessness in the same remedy, because the
patient may be fearful in his everyday experiences but fearless
when he has a fever.
