From the publisher :
This
book offers an original perspective on comparative materia medica,
incorporating information on newer and less understood remedies within the
framework of well-known remedies. It clarifies and systematizes our study of
materia medica, allowing us to navigate the complexities of materia medica
study more effectively.
There
are thirty-six chapters, each one focusing on a well-known remedy, giving an
initial summary and utilizing a three-stage development for each remedy –
Intrinsic, Compensated, Decompensated – that relates to the three fundamental
miasms of Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis. Each remedy is compared and discussed
within this framework, weaving comparisons with many other remedies in the
process.
Understanding
how to relate and compare remedies is essential in the development of
homeopathic knowledge and this book explores comparisons and relationships from
many perspectives – constitutional, mental, pathological, miasmatic, keynote,
organ affinity etc.
There
are discussions of remedies from all realms: animals such as insects, birds,
mammals and sea remedies; common and unusual mineral and metal remedies and
plant and other vegetable remedies, including fungi. Remedies from the bacteria
and virus families and other imponderabilia are compared, always looking at
possible connections to well-proven and documented remedies.
A Comparative Materia Medica offers a bridge; it allows
for the exploration of new areas of homeopathic knowledge, and seeks to ground
our existing knowledge into a coherent pattern so the practice of homeopathy
can be objectively applied and verified.
