Homeopathy is a science based on individualisation and prescribing for any given set of symptoms requires a certain consideration of the history and peculiarities of the individual. While this may be a time consuming process, the modern demands of the profession, at times, may not allow this liberty at all owing to the acuteness of the condition. In such circumstances, a reference book as this will come handy in suggesting the most likely remedies and help the amateur homeopath select his similimum fast.
