Dear Atiq
I like your tips because they bring attention to some otherwise "old, new and forgotten" and small remedies.
Naturally, I'm sure any discerning, well-trained homeopath will know how to use them correctly when the occasion arises.
The tips remind us not to get locked into narrow thinking restricted to polychrests. It may also help a certain type of "classicist" from thinking that "constitutional" must perforce always mean "mental, emotional, psychological" only, because many of the small remedies are limited in their proving. By default, it's the extensively proved rx's that become "popular" (the ones we rely on), resulting in us usually ignoring the possibility of some "old, forgotten" remedy's usefulness.
For instance I just glanced through Ptelea. Murphy, Morrison and others only refer to the physicals. Up to now I only thought of it for its physicals. Persevering through Mangalavorti and Vermeulen, Allen are the mentals that back your statement.
Which leads me to another thought. Seeing the mentals & physicals in Ptelea, reminds me that "liver derangements" often lead to mental depression. (eg hepatitis, alcoholism give way to depression) Ptel. becomes a very logical remedy for certain types of depression. I'd keep in mind that treatment of the liver would be concomitant to treatment of depression.
keep up your "did you know" series.
