Classical Homoeopathy For An Impatient World by DR. SUBRATA K. BANERJEA

The name ‘Rapid Classical Prescribing’ has originated in concept from author watching a few Master homoeopaths of Calcutta (India), namely, Dr S. K. Dubey, Dr P. C. Paul and my uncle, Dr N. K. Banerjee, as well as reading wonderful case stories of Drs N.M. Chowdhury, Mahendra Lal Sircar, Nilmani Ghatak, Tarak Nath Palit and Dr B. K. Bose, who inspired him to find the right methodology to make a successful classical prescription.

Author’s years of experience, understanding and reading of homoeopathic literature, have brought him to the conclusion that the totality of the following six methodologies will enable the prescriber to reach the ‘simillimum’ efficiently and quickly:

1. Emphasis on Aetiologies

2. Totality of Physical Symptoms

3. Emotional Symptoms

4. Behaviour, Gesture, Posture,

5. Miasmatic Totality

6. Homoeopathic Generalities

The totality or a combination of any three of the above methodologies can get you to the simillimum. This is a time tested, repeatedly verified, scientific, classical and practical approach which has been practiced for centuries by Master homoeopaths including Drs Kent, Hering, Lippe, Tyler, Nash, etc.

The hexagonal representation in the book will enable the prescriber to understand the keywords of the medicine (for example, ‘Retention’ for Natrium muriaticum; ‘Anchor’ for Pulsatilla nigricans; ‘Principle’ for Kalium carbonicum; ‘Unfulfilled’ for Tuberculinum, etc.) on which major emphasis should be given for prescribing. The book gives a graphic presentation of all the drugs which is easy to comprehend and remember too. There is a discussion on different concepts of homeopathy needed for a correct prescription ranging from miasms, case taking, use of mother tinctures, LM potency, common characters of different groups, polychrest remedies etc.

This book will serve the needs of both students and practitioners.
