 PREFACE

Today, when I recall my college days when I along with

my batchmates aspired to memorise the entire Materia
Medica in the hope of becoming another Dr. Hahnemann,
I laugh at the thought as over the years experience has
taught me that all who try to learn the entire Materia Medica
by rote must ignonimously fail. It is keeping this in mind
that I have tried to assimilate the knowledge gained over
the years and this book represents the filtered nectar of the
various books on Materia Medica that I must have referred
during the various cases that I encountered during my clinical
practice. It has been my endeavour to use this book as a
medium to pass on to the students in simple form all the
complexities and nuances which have boggled me
throughout.
As a student goes through this book, he will find hidden
treasures spread out at different places picked from various
books, writings, articles etc. which are difficult to lay hands
on, as many of them are either out of print or too costly.
The book has also been written to serve a student's
purpose of reference so that he may just refer to one book
and not bother himself with ten others which give more or
less the same data albeit in different forms. Though the
book is a repertoire of readymade references, but it is by
no means perfect. Hence, any suggestions, comments or
criticism will only help to serve the Homoeopathic
community better.
HOMOEOPATHY begins when all the other pathies fail,
hence the students must train themselves to say "Yes" where
others say "No" or only "May Be".

 FOREWORD

Homoeopathy is spreading like fire today throughout

the world, more so in India where day by day more and
more students are opting for this therapy which is an
alternative system of medicine as their career.
Despite the fact that there are many books on Materia
Medica, a need is still being felt amongst the students and
medical fraternity to have a concise book which will contain
all the required information about a particular drug under
one heading. Keeping in mind the new syllabus and the
difficulties faced by the students this book has been
designed by the author who has tried to formulate all the
required information under one text. This book has been
written on the similar pattern as Materia Medica for Students
Part-l which was authored by the containing pictorial
illustrations for easy remembrance of the drugs.
I wish the author great success who has made an
authentic and honest effort to simplify and reveal the
hidden meanings of Homoeopathic Materia Medica in her
book.
