mental help

[leopardprintz]

I have problems with the archaic language in the materia medicas when
trying to evaluate the mental aspects of a case. Are there any books I
could get that would help?

*****one book is by Farokh Master ---
Perceiving Rubrics of the Mind

This is an A - Z compilation, with explanations and some remedy
suggestion.

There are others --- you may find different titles at homoeopathic book
stores

If you want to run some of the difficult ones by us here on the list, I am
sure some of us could help
Best

The dictionary is fantastic for that purpose:-)
If you have trouble finding a particular word's "translation" into
homeopathy, you can ask minutus. Medical encyclopedias are helpful
too, as are online homeopathic search engines or Google itself (type:
define: *word*; click enter).
Best wishes,
Caro.

In addition to Yasgur's Homeopathic dictionary

a great online source for archaic medical terms is

But use the *oldest* medical (or other) dictionary you can find!!!
Some words have fallen out of use, and others' meanings have changed.
(A simple e.g.: "Appetite, wanting" now would seem to mean that the
person wants to eat a lot? But the older meaning of "wanting" was
"lacking"--in other words, "no appetite"!)

The Yasgurs Dictionary was a required book when I first started college
- highly recommended at the time by Minerva books!

Kind regards

Just remembered we were also advised to get hold of the oldest medical
dictionary we could lay our hands on as I see has already been
mentioned!
