HOMOEOPATHY (Jain)

A listing of symptoms derived primarily from the Synthetic Repertory of Barthel and Klunker.The book covers mind symptoms of 890 remedies.

This book is about practising homoeopathy.

Man's mind is wider than the widest of ocean, and deeper than the deepest of sea. The reaction of emotions has a great role to play in keeping a man happy and healthy. As Dr Kent observes, man's affections are more important than his intelligence. Intelligence can explore the physical world, but it cannot help him in being happy. Homeopathy wants to make you healthy and happy and so the mental and emotional framework and its deep study becomes highly important.

This materia medica catalogues some 280 remedies, each described with a brief reference to origins, major actions upon the body systems, and some useful suggested applications.

The book dates back to 1890, when its author, Dr Burnett, discovered the Bacillinum nosode. Before proclaiming his findings to the then medical world, the author had himself taken the nosode as a short drug proving and then used it in his daily practice to treat cases of infectious tuberculosis of various types. The book is the result of this hard work; it is basically the presentation or thesis of the author's findings with respect to the nosode. The book records 54 cases of consumption treated by the author with the nosode with favourable results. In the second edition, he has included additional notes on the subject, further elaborating his experiences with the nosode.

The most authoritative book on homoeopathy ever published. Abbreviations and names of drugs have been standardised according to Synthesis in the whole text. An index of the drugs, both common and Latin names have been introduced under contents.
