Homeopathic Materia Medica brought to life by HOMPATH software

The term ‘Homeopathic Materia Medica’ broadly refers to the collection of knowledge relating to the therapeutic (medicinal) properties of any specific substance used for curative purpose. The medicinal substance when given to a healthy “drug prover” will produce multitudinous symptoms in him. All these symptoms produced in various “drug provers” are verified, organized and compiled into the Homeopathic Materia Medica. In other words, it is an organized compilation of information about each and every remedy.

Every homeopath knows very well that searching for any specific symptom from numerous voluminous books is akin to searching for the proverbial “needle in the haystack”. It is an extremely tedious and time-consuming process – which many prefer to skip or cut-short in actual practice. This sort of compromise is unhealthy for the patient in specific and the growth of homeopathy in general. So, deep inside, every serious and dedicated homeopath eagerly desires a solution whereby one can search through these huge books in the shortest time possible.

Fortunately, homeopathic software such as HOMPATH, have been designed to do precisely that. These software have quick search features such as the “Materia Medica Search” feature of HOMPATH that will search for even the rarest or the most unusual symptom in the blink of an eye – almost magically. This ‘magical search’ effectively saves a tremendous amount of time and energy. It also brings to one’s attention those symptoms or related symptoms which one usually wouldn’t think of or consider.

For e.g. most Homeopaths are aware of remedies such as Hyos, Lach and Apis covering the symptom ‘Jealousy.’ However, the Materia Medica search also shows up remedies such as Staph, Op, Nux-v, etc. covering ‘Jealousy’ which would otherwise never be given thought to by most Homoeopaths. Thus, software such as HOMPATH can help every Homeopath see beyond the obvious and widen their Horizons, thus helping patients to improve their health.

One can compare the keynotes of two remedies side-by-side. One can also compare the individual sections of the two remedies, eg: Mind section of Bryonia alba and Rhus toxicodendron.

One can also find the “keynotes” of any remedy, including rare ones, for e.g. Hydrogenum, Germanium, Ozone, Chocolate which are very difficult to find in most books on Homeopathic Materia Medica.

One of the most popular and extensively used Homeopathic Materia Medica software in the world is HOMPATH by Mind Technologies, Mumbai. HOMPATH is the World’s Largest Homoeopathic Database having a meticulously compiled and highly credible database of 3000+ remedies, with a detailed drug picture of 1900+ remedies, pointer keynotes of 1500+ drugs, 3100+ clinical tips, and much, much more.

Salient features of the Homeopathic Materia Medica software HOMPATH:

• In-depth drug pictures of 1900+ drugs
• Easy comparison of two remedies side-by-side
• Extract Materia Medica from repertory for any given remedy
• Learn Materia Medica from the various masters – their writings, teachings and cases
• Visual learning using pictures, videos and power point presentations
• Read and Hear the Materia Medica using the text-to-voice facility

In addition, the software comprises of numerous Pictures, Audios, Videos and Power Point Presentations of various remedies that help understanding the remedies much more easily and effectively.

One can also study solved cases of Homeopathic masters. This makes understanding and learning the Homeopathic Materia Medica much easier and more interesting.

Thus, Homeopathic Materia Medica software such as HOMPATH provide several routes for understanding and learning the Materia Medica. One can choose one’s path to accomplish one’s goal of becoming a ‘master’ of the ‘healing art’.

Homeopathic Materia Medica software like HOMPATH can help every Homeopath to ENHANCE his healing powers and TRIM DOWN the time and effort spent on each case.

Homeopathic software such as HOMPATH acts as a CATALYST in the transformation of every Homeopath into an Expert.

Role Of Homoeopathy In Bronchial Asthma With Homoeopathic Materia Medica

A 64 years old male patient was suffering from asthma since last six months. In spite of all modes of treatment his condition was not relieved. Patient’s one peculiar habit was sitting down in knee-chest position. He was feeling very hot. He had put on the fan at full speed and was still perspiring. The patient was breathless and nothing seemed to be helping him.

With the help of Materia Medica, he was given Medorrhinum 30, 2 pills every 4 hours. Within 1 week, the patient was much better without any difficulty. He started working within a month’s time and all his complaints improved substantially.

Hompath Wildfire - Keynotes

This case was treated by Renowned Homoeopath Dr. Jawahar Shah. From this case upcoming homoeopaths can learn that even the acute exacerbation of diseases like asthma can be handled. This miraculous effect is possible only with Homoeopathic Materia Medica and the similimum is the only solution to the problem. Over 230 million people, including children, are suffering from Bronchial Asthma globally. Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of airways, characterized by hyper-responsiveness and clinically manifested with periodic attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing.

Dr. Shah has cured many patients purely with Homoeopathic medicines since 36 years of his practice. He was able to cure and have helped other patients gain relief for bronchial asthma through homeopathic materia medica. The following snapshots of cases may elucidate how Dr. Shah chooses the proper remedy.

Kali bichromicum worked wonders for Mr. S.K. who gets an attack with chest pain whenever he drinks beer. He complained of chest pain is in one spot and whenever he presses this spot, thick yellow expectoration comes out. As soon as some expectoration comes out he feels much better.

Lachesis was the correct remedy for Mrs. P.N., who had marked choked up feeling with loud breathing and audible ronchi. Her complaints were aggravated by tight clothes, night, after dinner, exertion, in closed room and better by sitting up, loosening clothes, in air-conditioned atmosphere and in open air.

Natrum Sulph helped Mrs. N.C. from Dubai, who was short-tempered, moody, irritable and brooding in nature. She must hold chest while coughing. She would have typical aggravation by damp, monsoon, getting wet, taking bat, draft of air and cold drinks. She would feel better in dry climate, Warm room and warm drinks.

Hompath Wildfire - Materia Medica

Thuja was the correct remedy for Mr. B.D.N. had been suffering from bronchial asthma for the last 40 years. He was thermally chilly, anxious about his health, requires support yet leading personality. Dr. Shah gave prescribed on the basis of sycotic miasm, chilliness and marked anxiety.

Sepia helped Mrs. M.V. who had asthmatic attacks at night, lay with head bent forward, then cough with expectoration of tenacious saliva. She was always feeling better from moving around at a faster speed. She had a concomitant of thick white leucorrhoea.

According to Dr. Jawahar Shah, Homoeopathy, being a tailor-made individualistic therapeutic modality, has an edge over other systems of medicine in such a hetra-headed clinical condition. Sometimes he used the particular rubric at the general level and select a drug accordingly from materia medica could be one of the ways to prescribe a drug & to reach cure.

After thorough study of materia medica, we can understand and treat patients effectively by understanding the remedy picture of the patient and his phase and can expect good result. Sometimes a keynote symptom has vital role in selection of a remedy. In some cases, modalities give us important clue for selection of a remedy. Thus, materia medica is very important tool to decide medicine after completion of the case-taking in the process of remedy selection.

Homeopathic Clinical Tips : Targeted To Cure The Right Way

They say ‘Experience is the best teacher’ and ‘Time and tide wait for no one’. How do we, as part of one of the most dynamic professions in the world, do justice to both the above sayings simultaneously? The answer is through the vast experience and clinical practice of our Masters. The extensive materia medicae, repertories and philosophies handed down by them through the centuries.

But today, when time is a scarce commodity and it may not be possible to sort through the sea of books, another of the treasures passed down by the stalwarts comes of great use to us- homeopathic clinical tips.

Homeopathic clinical tips are the diamonds extracted from the earth of the homeopathic materia medica. They are polished through clinical experience of many years and finally proudly embellish the therapeutics of homeopathy.

These are those gems of which will never fail to cure the patient, because, like any rational science, they have been proved, re-proved and verified in the clinical practice of scores of old and modern-day homeopaths.

Homeopathic clinical tips are the tools that can be effectively used in homeopathic prescribing especially when time is short. And yet, the physician can remain faithful to the law of similars, without losing the essence of homeopathy.

Did u know, for instance, that Magnesia Phosphorica will definitely cure vesical neuralgia after catheterization, or that Natrum Phosphoricum is one of the first remedies to be thought of in Gout, because uric acid is kept soluble in blood due to phosphate of soda?

Clinical tips are based on the knowledge of physiology, pathology, biochemistry and internal medicine and derived on the basis of pure experience.

They help to not only narrow down the list of remedies for a given clinical condition, but effectively help the physician to arrive at the similimum in the least time possible.

Homeopathic clinical tips are the comprehensive pointers to the use of homeopathic remedies in specific clinical conditions. They are precise, concise and are guaranteed to pierce the bull’s-eye in most cases.

And what better way to take homeopathy and the homeopath at the forefront than to combine the knowledge of homeopathic clinical tips and the science of one of the latest technologies, Android?

Homeopathic Repertory Software: Need of the Hour in a Busy World!

Just like constant innovations, inventions and reinventions are necessary in all fields of healthcare, so are such innovations a key factor in the progress of Homeopathy in general and the homeopathic clinician in particular.

No doubt the introduction of newer and more informative repertories are a huge boon, but scarcity of time does not allow the physician to do justice to them, and in turn, probably to the patient too.

Precision is the key to success in Homeopathy. Getting the exact similimum among 3000+ remedies is extremely difficult.

To solve this dilemma, homeopathic repertory software comes as a godsend. It effectively combats the race against time and also fills the glaring loophole of human capacities and errors.

Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements: Expand The Mind To Greater Insight

Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements interprets the concepts of Jan Scholten into the structure of a repertory. Using the Periodic Table as the foundation, Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements builds on Scholten’s classification of the various stages and series, and gives a detailed view of the consequent remedies.

So what is different about Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements?

Jan Scholten gave the homeopathic world a whole new outlook to prescribing the similimum with the help of the Periodic Table. Borrowing from his clinical experiences, observations and research of many years, he conceptualized a Periodic Table of the Elements, in which he described the characteristics of each Stage and Series, as well as the key features of every element.

This ground-breaking concept opened new vistas in the field of homeopathic prescribing, and with more and more adherents, he consolidated and converted this fascinating concept in the form of a repertory, the Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements.

The most remarkable aspect of Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements is that it seamlessly systematizes the concepts of Scholten into a comprehensive literature that integrates existing data with added observational experience.

The introductory pages of Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements explain the unique arrangement of rubrics into three parts:

• Subject
• Thematic
• Dynamic

The Thematic component represents the Sensation /Phenomenon, whereas the Dynamic Aspect signifies the Modality.

Scholten also puts forward his own exclusive concepts of coding and naming remedies.

• He proposes that in case of animal remedies, the species should be mentioned first, and then the body part used to make the remedy, so that Lac Humanum would become Homo sapiens lac
• Acids should be stated with the name of the anion first and cation later, hence Fluoric Acid would become Acidum fluor whereas
• Mineral remedies should start with 3-letter abbreviations and plants and animals should begin with 4. Isn’t it a great way to see abbreviations differently?

Although Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements is based on the Periodic Table, few rubrics like 'Time', 'Weather', 'Body Sensations' and 'Color Preferences' include remedies from the plant and animal kingdoms as well.

[Scholten ] [General] Time day: 1 pm, 13h, aggravates

[Scholten ] [General] Time day: 1 pm, 13h, aggravates

[Scholten ] [General] Weather: Weather: Air: Fresh: Aggravates

[Scholten ] [General] Weather: Weather: Air: Fresh: Aggravates

[Scholten ] [Body] Sensation: Boring

[Scholten ] [Body] Sensation: Boring

[Scholten ] [Mind] Nature: Colour preference: 0e, black

[Scholten ] [Mind] Nature: Colour preference: 0e, black

Unlike other repertories, the rubrics given in Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements are not just restricted to the interpretation of particular symptom, but represent a common theme or problem running through the diagnosis of the patient. In this way, Scholten provides a wholesome view or pattern to be discovered and utilized while prescribing.

In spite of the fact that Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements is the fruit of Jan Scholten’s clinical experiences, in literature as well as his own practice, the chapter on Generals reflects the concept of Generalization pioneered by Boenninghausen that every remedy has sensations and modalities reflecting on the general level.

Let us take a case…

A 45 year old man comes with complaints of ulcer on the lips and brittleness of nails since 8 years. Taking a detailed life history, the totality that comes up is:

1. Ulcer on the lips- small
2. Brittleness of nails
3. General aggravation from cloudy weather
4. Recurrent dreams of “waves”

On repertorisation from Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements we see:

With this analytical repertory, the remedy coming up is Plumbum muriaticum, a remedy which very few physicians would think about. It makes one think beyond one’s prejudice and concepts and, simultaneously, learn and practice.

In essence, the Jan Scholten Repertory Of Elements successfully merges the philosophies of the early stalwarts with the contemporary thinking, concepts and experiences of Jan Scholten, and challenges the accepted wisdom of the homeopath of today to a deeper understanding of homeopathy, minerals and mankind.

Homeopathy at its best for Hair fall disorders

In the world of today, working at an express pace, there has been inevitable increase in the stress levels amongst the people. Ever since before, hair fall has been its invariable associate. Major causes of hair fall today include:

• Hormonal Imbalance
• Heredity
• Poor Nutrition
• Emotional Disturbances/Stress
• Systemic diseases
• Local Infection
• Aging
• Auto-immune affections

Amongst all these causes of hair fall we understand that about 90% of the causes are internal causes or causes not directly related to the hair. Then, why do we resort to local means for treatment of such a disorder? Hairfall is the external expression of the internal dismay. Then is it not futile to keep treating a manifestation and not target the cause? What results do we expect with such an approach? No wonder we keep getting patient of hair loss with a mere temporary relief and the complaints recurring again and again. A disease with such high cosmetic significance needs to be handled in a very defined and meticulous manner. Most of the treatments just treat the external expressions not taking into account the internal derangement.

Homeopathy here has something to proffer. Homeopathy has been showing miraculous result when it comes to most of the forms of hair fall.

Homeopathy has reasons to work

• Homeopathy acts on the defective immune response
• Homeopathy pays heed to the family histories and genetic predispositions
• Homeopathy considers hairfall to be an internal disease and not a local or an external derangement
• Consideration of all levels with regards to a disease, i.e. physical and mental, to be precise, a holistic approach

Homeopathic treatment for hairfall comes to an ideal and lasting retrieval. Some ‘On the move’ prescriptions for treating hairfall.

We also have two great remedies Vinca Minor and Phosphorus commonly used in cases of hairfall. But for faster and easier prescription we can compare them.

Difference between Vinca Minor and Phosphorus in hairfall

Phosphorus has hairfall in spots with profuse dandruff with premature graying of hair. Hair comes out in bunches. Whereas, Vinca minor is a remedy which has corrosive itching of the scalp with foul smelling eruptions on the head, face and also behind the ears. Live vermin present on the scalp. Entangled hair causing plica polonica. Hair falling out wherein the lost hair are replaced with grey hair. Bald spots are covered with short, wooly hair. Moist eruptions on the head containing vermin causing night itching with burning and intense scratching.

Also of great help is the Homeopathic remedy Ustilago, useful in cases of hairfall with intense dryness and heat of the scalp and congestion. Filthy mass of inflammation is present on the scalp constantly oozing out a watery serum.

Right since the ancient past hair has been attributed as a person’s might and allure. Hair though being an external adjunct account to the completeness of a person. Healthy hair indicate health, energy and youthfulness whereas, white hair or no hair relate to aging and weakness. Bald headed or grey-haired people are known to suffer isolation, lack of confidence and thus depression. Selecting the right path towards treatment of hairfall is the need for today. External relief is no relief in true sense. Don’t you feel Homeopathy to be the most apt system for such a disease? We Homeopaths are privileged to be a part of the system which heads to the correct path.
