Scope of Homoeopathic Materia Medica
As mentioned in various aphorisms of Organon of Medicine, the rationality of Homoeopathic materia medica and its accuracy is beyond any doubt. Homoeopathic materia medica is constructed differently as compared to other materia medica. Essential and complete knowledge of the drug action can be obtained only by qualitative synoptic drug experiments on healthy human being; this can make it possible to view all the scattered data in relation to the psychosomatic as a whole person. In this way the Homoeopathic materia medica provides great scope in the field of medicine.
• Holistic approach: Holistic and individualistic approach is found only in Homoeopathic materia medica.
• Drug proving: Homoeopathic materia medica has been constructed on the symptoms which are recorded by proving the drugs on healthy human beings of different ages, both sexes and at different places, the exact sensation, location, modality and concomitants are recorded. This type of proving is not found in other systems of medicine.
• Miasms: Miasmatic evolution of Homoeopathic drugs can be studied with the help of materia medica.
• Rationality and Accuracy of symptoms: As mentioned in the aphorism no. 106, 143, 144 and 145 of Organon of Medicine, the accuracy and the rationality of Homoeopathic materia medica is beyond any doubt that authenticity of symptoms of Homoeopathic materia medica is perfect, as the symptoms are extracted from human pathogenetic trials.
• Relationship of drugs: Relationship between various drugs can be ascertained with the help of materia medica.
• Prophylaxis: Prophylactic drugs can be selected by determining the temperament, diathesis and disposition of a person through the materia medica.
• Case taking: Homoeopathic materia medica is stable and not supposed to change. It helps to formulate the questions at the time of case taking.
• Large number of drugs: The Homoeopathic materia medica comprises of a large number of remedies for the physician to determine or select the correct similimum for the disease condition. Such type of scope of the materia medica is not found in other system of medicine.
• Symptoms of Homoeopathic Materia Medica are verified and confirmed: Symptoms are confirmed by reproving and are verified on sick individuals.
• Symptoms similarity: In Homoeopathy, drugs are applied on the patient, on the basis of symptom similarity. As per the law of individualisation, no two humans are alike. Also susceptibility differs from person to person.
• Prevention and cure of any epidemic at the very onset: Many epidemics like chikungunya, flu, conjunctivitis, etc., were controlled quickly at the time of Hahnemann and thereafter, because of genus Epidemicus.
• Large number of symptoms: We get a large number of symptoms during drug proving which can be applied on sick individuals in different disease conditions.
• Pathogenesis: Without knowing the pathogenesis of a drug substance and its effect upon healthy human beings, it is not rational to apply it on human beings for curative purposes.
• Choice of drug: There are many deep acting remedies in Homoeopathic materia medica with a broad sphere of action. Hence, there is no problem in choosing the similimum. The materia medica has a large number of drugs with many symptoms. So it is possible to find a simillimum without any problem.
• Organic changes: Drugs are used to cure the structural changes before irreversible pathology is established. During drug proving, the drug is withdrawn before any organic changes take place. The altered symptomatology is purely functional. Hence, Homoeopathy is useful for treatment before any pathological changes can take place.
• Subjective symptoms: In Allopathy, drugs are proved upon lower animals, thus, only objective symptoms are obtained. Subjective symptoms are those which are felt by the patient himself. They are considered during the treatment of the patient because they are found during proving. While receiving a case, the patient usually narrates his subjective symptoms.
