HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES - MATERIA MEDICA HOME PAGE

[Guest guest]

Hello Dear People,

I discovered this "Materia Medica" yesterday. I am very interested in Flower Remedies, at this moment, and the descriptions were "off-the-wall" helpful. Many other types of healing modalities are included. I hope that this will prove useful to some of you.

In love,

- EXPERIENCE, THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS ON MISCELLANEOUS REMEDIES

The word 'materia medica' originates from the Latin word of 'mater' which means materials and 'medica' which refers to their use in medicine, therefore a materia medica translates as a Book of Medicines. The first Homeopathic Materia Medica was created by Hahnemann which he called the Materia Medica Pura, which translates as the Book of Pure Medicines.

For common first aid purposes it is often enough to only learn one aspect of the remedy: but have a look at the fuller materia medica as well as the abridged versions;e.g. Arnica in the abridged Materia Medica is known as the remedy for bruises and any physical trauma, but read Arnica from the a-z list at top and you will see it has a far wider range of therapeutic use. Do this with the other remedies that interest you too.

The only way to get really get to grips with the materia medica is to keep on studying it.Start with the 'polychrests' and 'Basic' remedies. get to know these in depthby reading different materia medicas.The understanding of materia medica is an ongoing and never ending pursuit for homeopaths who memorise keynotes and much of the full materia medica by heart.

NB::Under 'Dose' in the Matera Medica sometimes recommendations are made by the original author (Boericke) for physical quantities i.e. material, unpotentised doses, of remedies. Do not act on this information unless medically qualified to do so ( it would be almost impossible anyway to obtain them legally; now all homeopathic remedies that you can buy are potentised so the problem is purely hypothetical ). Many of the substances used when the Materia Medica included on this site was written are now controlled substances and/or very toxic. (e.g. Adrenalin, Digitalis) Mostly this section has been deleted but there may still remain some references to material dose (i.e. physical, not potentised ). It may nonetheless be of historical interest - this advice was written for Medical Doctors and at a time when some substances were prescribed that are no longer legal (e.g. Opium). This caution relates ONLY to material doses, not to potentised doses. Any potentised homeopathic remedy you can buy from reputable pharmacies is perfectly safe as it does not contain measurable physical quantity of any toxic substance.
