Minutus

Hello Minutus folks,
I usually don't write into your list, still a beginner, and learning much from your posts. Can anyone tell me how to begin studying remedies in their related groups?
Many thanks,
Cal O.

There are different ways of tackling this: one is Jan Scholten's periodic
table system which groups remedies according to their original chemical
properties, e.g. the Kalis together, the Muriaticums together, the Calcareas
together and so on and so forth.

Sankaran's method of grouping plants into families and studying them that
way is a similar "philosophy".

Another way is to group remedies according to how they relate, e.g. Nat Mur,
Ignatia, Apis...

It all depends how your brain works and stores information and how you
process/recall that information!

Some time ago there was a thread in this list about a way of studying
remedies that one of the fathers of homoeopathy had outlined. I can't
remember off the top of my head which one it was, I have a feeling it was
Hering but could be mistaken. Maybe another member of the list has a better
memory on this one!

The Hering method is derived from an article by him. The article is posted
on www.wholehealthnow.com

Another method is to start with a polychrest and study it in depth; then
study one by one the other remedies with similar action to it (e.g. the dd
lists at the end).

Hering, certainly. The best book to look at about this is
Farrington's Materia Medica in which he groups remedies according to
a number of classifications.

Hello Julian

Thanks for the tip about Farrington's Materia Medica - is it a book that's
still in print?

Have a wonderful Christmas and a bright, warm and happy New Year
