A Synoptic Key Of The Materia Medica

Product Full Description

This book is in real sense a key to homoeopathic materia medica. Something which is useful for bed-side prescription as well as for quick revision. An introductory note has been added by Norbert Winter which briefs about the utility and structure of the book making it easier for the readers to understand the practicality of this work. The book is divided into three parts: 1) 203 pages Repertory and supplemental reference table 2) 291 pages Materia Medica which is laid out in physiological spheres of activities with modalities and relationships 3) 6 pages section of 3 appendices It has a fascinating layout and concept. Each remedy is presented in concise and clear words. In Boger's layout you can easily see which remedy affects which specific part of the body. Here, at a glance, this all is available. This book intends to make the general expression or genius of each remedy, thereby helping the prescriber to correct the manner of his practice. The repertory is too instructive in its own way and many hints can be gathered from its unusual layout. It can also be applied as the "supplemental reference table".
