| Do you remember yourself looking for a rare clinical tip or
some note about a medicine, which you read a long time ago? ‘Oh!
I remember reading that Lachesis should not be given before or after
Nitric Acid. But who said that? In which book did I read it? And
where was it that I read about the contraceptive effect of Natrum
mur?’. Has anything like this ever happened to you? Well!
I think it happens to all of us when we faintly remember some clinical
tip or precaution about a remedy mentioned in some book, but fail
to remember its source properly. This book by Subhash Chandra Gupta
is a much-needed compilation of all those golden-tips, clinical-hints
and precautions given by our masters.
This book covers 292 new and old medicines. Under each medicine
the author has listed all the precautions related to that medicine,
which have been mentioned in various sources. The author has covered
most of the old and new works and the source/author has been mentioned
with each precaution. Followed by the precautions that a homeopath
must take while prescribing a certain medicine, the author has listed
some clinical nuggets and therapeutic hints that are spread across
our vast literature and are often difficult to find when needed.
In our literature, many authors have mentioned the therapeutic
effectiveness of certain medicines in some specific conditions.
Subhash Chandra Gupta has taken pains to collect such therapeutic
hints and unusual cures and has compiled a very small repertory
like index of the same, which is given at the end of this book.
This book will serve as a ready reference for finding all the
useful precautions regarding dose, potency, remedy-relations, diet
and other factors related to various medicines. The addition of
clinical-tips and a therapeutic index add value to this book and
this work will prove a useful reference source to every homeopath.
