The basis of any true
Homoeopathic prescribing lies in the concept of individualization
and the Law of Similars. The task seems simple, yet complicated.
With the increasing number of provings day by day and improvised
study of materia medica as well as cases, one often feels the
need to find a correlation between various remedies at various
levels (mind, general, particulars, miasmatic, etc.). Our masters
Boeninghausen, Clarke, Kent, Nash have in their own individual
ways presented us with their observations relating to this in
their writings. Clarke has mentioned in his preface to the Clinical
Repertory, the significance of the relationships amongst remedies.
It is worth quoting a few lines from his Preface (pg. IX). It
says - "But, quite independently of all known natural relationships
- I say `known relationships` because there is nothing really
unrelated to anything else. Medicines are interrelated in various
ways in their point of therapeutic action. A knowledge of these
relationships is all important to those who aim at accurate
prescribing."

Hence, an attempt has been made in this article to chalk out
the characteristics and bring together the relationships of
these nosodes from various sources and present them here. Before
directly going to the topic, one needs to briefly mention how
it was attempted, so that one gets an idea prima facie. Further
suggestions and constructive criticism are invited.
Search was made through all the books mentioned to find out
the characteristics and relationships revised by various authors.
They were put down together and from the totality of information,
striking symptoms were taken and relationships at the level
of mind, generals, miasmatic and striking particulars of nosodes
(under consideration) were brought out.
The presentation is such that the remedy under consideration
is kept at the centre and its relations dealt at the periphery
which begins at the level of miasm on one side and mind and
general on other side, followed by the particular/location and
then striking peculiarities if so. |
