Materia medica/ knowledge of medicinal powers

I aim to write about the medicines here as given in Materia Medica s, but would confine myself to only bite-size indications. Occasionally do I plan to provide a full meal😊. Most of what I would be posting here would be practical points that can be used in day-to-day practice.
How to perceive a patient’s symptoms and understand them in light of the language of Materia medica is what I plan to present. It will not be something out of the extraordinary but would be of importance, which is sometimes missed in the sea of symptoms in each medicine. I personally am very fond of a few authors and have been trying to follow them. They are Boenninghausen, Boger, Lippe, Pulford, Guernsey, Hering, Allen, Phatak, and the fountainhead Dr. Hahnemann, and most of what I plan to write would be from these. I would also try to give a reference for what I write. I still find myself learning every day and discovering new things; once a student always a student. I however wish to reduce this struggle for others.
Occasionally I will be sharing the drug picture for better understanding.

Hope you find it helpful.

Think of a person who has underwent a series of emotional setback. He is so affected by his situation that he undergoes depression, doesn’t want to talk to anybody. he avoids strangers. Talking with people agg his problems. he can’t bear laughing faces anymore, it reminds him of his own predicament. he becomes secluded and cannot entertain visitors. music causes weeping. he dwells on unpleasant things and has himself lost love of life. You may think of IGNATIA, but think of AMBRA as it come very close to it.
