Absolute Homeopathic Materia Medica by AJIT KULKARNI/ISHWARDA

Asking yourself why the word ABSOLUTE? It is because the authors have tried to make the work incomparable and universally valid at all times and as authentic as possible, hence the word being used aptly.
Dr. Guy Tydor (a classical homeopath) from Israel finds Absolute Materia Medica a bridge between the “old” approach of Kent, Boericke, Allen, Clarke, Hering etc. and the “new” approach of directions of diseases, evolution of diseases and other topics. This book is about homoeopathy in its scientific and pure aspects. The book contains the concrete facts essential for prescribing & is devoid of imaginary tales about the remedies.

What does this book provide?

This is a package of uncompromisingly scholarly presentation of 150 remedies offered to the world of homoeopathic materia medica, to unravel the hidden treasure of old and new literature, with emphasis on original database, logical interpretation of data, innumerable creative themes, new expanded relationship of remedies and overall a new methodology of remedy presentation”.
The authors discuss the evolution and structure of MM in a comprehensive manner in preface and prepares the ground for the readers to know what this book has to offer.

How will it help?

Every effort has been made to present the data in an authentic and reliable way. This will help the students to prepare themselves towards the basic solid structure needed for the ongoing study of materia medica.
