"The New Materia Medica" is a source book of information on 30 new
crystal, botanical, and animal remedies now in use by practitioners
of the Guild of Homoeopaths who proved them through the practice of
meditation. These remedies, which have quickly established a
reputation for remarkable success, are extraordinary for their
depth of action, reaching far into the patient's psyche and
history. The entry on each remedy gives a description of the
original substance, plant, or animal in its natural state and an
outline of its history, including medicinal uses, and traditional
uses of the plants and crystal essence remedies where applicable.
It also provides an esoteric explanation of the remedies'
affinities for the chakras and the associated glands and organs
plus a description of the general symptoms of each remedy and
detailed descriptions of the mental, emotional symptoms and
physical symptoms that affect individual parts of the body. It
includes summarized case notes to show clinical evidence of
efficacy and to illustrate the day-to-day use of each remedy and a
list of related remedies to show affinities, comparisons and
relationships.
In understanding such things as the role of the shadow in healing,
the relationship between the ego and the transpersonal self, and
the application of dream analysis, medical practitioners can better
address present day health challenges. Included are client
interview techniques, natural remedies, and a bibliography and
glossary of Jungian terms.
There are over 40 articles covering all aspects of homeopathy in
this book as well as clinical case notes of 34 different ailments.
An amazing array of topics is covered. Every article is a gem!
Possessed of superior analytical powers and the divine gift of a
master-spirit, Dr Farrington used to contribute various articles in
Journals on different intricate matters of our system of treatment
and the this is an exhaustive collection of these invaluable
articles, collected and arranged with the most painstaking care.
The book is a collection of various articles that he contributed to
different British and American journals and amply shows his
analytical mind and the clarity of understanding that Farrington
had for his subject. Many of the articles incorporated herein, it
may be safely asserted, will not only be widely read with profit
but will also give the readers a correct estimation of the great
erudition of its eminent author. This title is highly recommended
to all students of homeopathy.
In this title, Dr. Kishore explains how the repertory evolved,
starting with Hahnemann, through Boenninghausen and eventually to
Kent. Each repertory is based on a conception as to how to approach
a case and to use each repertory with skill it is necessary to know
the thinking behind it. This book compares the repertories showing
both similarity and differences between the major approaches. The
book is a compilation of the history of the birth, growth and
development of various homoeopathic repertories. There is detailed
mentioning of lesser known repertories and some of the older
repertories which are not accessible to most of us for, eg: Jahr's
New manual of Symptomencodex; Alien's General Symptom Register of
Homoeopathic Materia Medica; and, Field's Card Repertory, etc. The
author has given several illustrative examples from his own
experience or from our old masters at various places. The author
has critically analysed the Boeninghausen's and the Kent's
Repertory and has highlighted many shortcomings. He has made
various suggestions to improve our repertories. In addition there
is a very thoughtful discussion of case taking and evaluation of
symptoms. A major part of the book is case examples using the
different repertories and illustrating the approach used with each
one. This book would be of great value to every homeopath. It
features: elaborate discussion on the birth, growth and development
of various repertories; enumeration and comparison of various
repertories; guidance for proper case taking, evaluation of
symptoms and different ways of analysis of the indicated remedies;
and, reportorial analysis with case demonstrations.
The many correlations between philosophical concepts in Eastern
belief systems and the thought and practice of classical homeopathy
have never been thoroughly explored. The homeopathy content of the
arguments presented is mainly, though not exclusively, classical
homeopathy, that is to say the method that emerges from the
original founder, Samuel Hahnemann, and proceeds to the present day
with a belief, where possible, in one, single, similimum remedy for
the treatment of disease. The Eastern belief systems addressed are
Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Jainism. Relevant detours include
the mystical aspects of Islam as expressed in Sufism; and points of
contact with Christian faith. Chapters include: Fundamental
concepts The vital force The interrelated Universe Holism The
pathological self Imbalance, disease and its symptoms Miasmatic
pathology Remedies Potentization Cure: The purification of
consciousness Homeopathy and the Coronavirus.
