The Essence Of Materia Medica- Second Edition

In the "Essence of Materia Medica", George Vithoulkas has painted the essence of 51 remedies. While reading every remedy, a clear portrait of the patient with minute details comes out in front of you. He has given a description of the type of person most commonly affected by a remedy at the start of most remedy portraits for example, the Kalium carbonicum patient with a strong sense of duty heightened to an inflexible, rigid degree. In every medicine Vithoulkas has described a common thread/theme going at all three levels of the patient, for example in Alumina, the theme of delayed action and slowness is visible at all the three levels. Many medicines are compared with other closely related medicines having similar symptoms. He has himself acknowledged that he has drawn a lot from the Kent’s Materia Medica and Repertory. He has been able to show the development of remedy pictures in a very evolutionary manner, which helps in creating a better understanding of the medicines presented in this work. The book is well compiled and the presentation of the material is very lucid and systematic.Searching Tags: The Essence of Materia Medica, The Essence of Materia Medicaby Vithoulkas, Book of Essence by Vithoulkas, Drug Picture Book by Vithoulkas,Vithoulkas Essence Book, Materia Medica Book by Vithoulkas, Remedy Picture Bookby Vithoulkas
