Materia Medica: The Polychrest Remedies

In this lecture, polychrest remedies will be defined as to their symptom picture coverage and their application in practice, based on provings. We will focus on these wide-ranging remedies, examining which are found most useful in veterinary practice, the importance of relying on remedy provings and similarity, and the evaluation of results based on the expectation of cure as the highest goal. We will also delve into the recent trend of some modern homeopaths who have encouraged a simplified practice involving using Kingdoms or Animal/Vegetable/Mineral classes to guide remedy selection; we will discuss why this is not correct, and will lead to inaccurate prescriptions.
