Essentials of Homeopathic Medicine

<p>Homeopathy is based on a simple principle of <strong>Similia Similibus Curentur</strong> or like cures like". This is a simple enough statement however it's application can be quite demanding. This book is meant as the practical next step to the study of Hahnemann's <strong>Organon</strong> where he lays out the philosophical foundation for homeopathy. In this book we first discuss how to take a complete case. <strong>Case taking</strong> is an art but one which can be fairly rapidly mastered by homeopathic students. Next we discuss <strong>case analysis</strong> and <strong>repertorization</strong> which becomes the next bridge to cross after taking a complete case. With practice this too can be mastered. Then we begin discussing homeopathic <strong>case management</strong> which is a study that will continue for a lifetime for homeopathic practitioners. Finally we cover 13 major <strong>polychrest</strong> remedies in detail. These are remedies which homeopathic practitioners use at least weekly in practice if not daily. Learning these major polychrests is a solid foundation from which to begin the study of the rest of the homeopathic materia medica which is quite vast.</p>"
