Homeopathy Materia Medica The Approach to Study -- Siegfried Letzel |
 |
|||
|
BUT HOW SHALL I STUDY THE MATERIA MEDICA? Well, everybody has to find his/her own individual approach. Perhaps one has to invent ones own method to study Materia Medica. Have a look to a well-stocked library. You will find books decribing homeopathic medicines in poems. You will find books visualizing the remedies in drawings– either in trying to portrait the person fitting to the constitutional appearance of a certain remedy and showing physical characteristics together with descriptions of properties that cannot be painted, or in cartoons that exaggerate the remediy's individualistic effects. Maybe You can compare a remedy with a person You know well.... There are many methods You can apply, all of them requiring repetitions over and over again. And still, You will never succeed in learning Your remedies well enough without a written Materia Medica. So the question arises, which Materia medica shall I buy, which one shall I use? The market is flooded with Homeopathic Materia Medicas of prime/high/low quality . I started with two handy books: William Boericke's 'Pocket manual of homoepathic materia medica' and Eugene B. Nash's 'Leaders in homoeopathic therapeutics'. Especially the second mentioned book I found very difficult to begin with because it compares different remedies in almost every section. I always forgot what I have read. But even if such reading is so much frustrating in the very beginning, the remedies will increasingly visualize in our mind the more You repeat Your reading again and again (...and again and again...). At this place let me suggest to You to read the following lecture by Constantine Hering that I found at the website of Whole Health Now: http://www.wholehealthnow.com/homeopathy_pro/hering_1.html . What I want to do next is to provide You with a list of some books on homeopathic Materia Medica. Links to online Materia Medicas follow. The lists cannot be complete. This is why I want to invite You to give me a note of any book or link that shall be added here. Do You want to write a book review to be added? You are welcome to submit it here. Kindly use the link at the end of the article. In Your studies, it will be unavoidable that some of Your questions will remain unanswered. In this case, besides of asking Your lecturer You are invited to pass by at hpathy.com's Student's Corner http://hpathy.com/homeopathyforums/ . Tell everybody of Your important or curious findings, ask the questions that are not being answered in Your books. You will learn that studying within a group is much fun and will carry You through episodes when You are close to give up. I am much involved in this process of learning, too. And honestly, with every step forward the paces become larger and faster. But the finish-line still seems to be as distant as on the first day.... |
