Essence of Materia Medica is the classic work of a new generation of materia medica. It goes beyond a list of symptoms to vividly capture the essence of remedies. Vithoulkas draws on the experience of many thousands of patients who were treated & healed by homeopathy. For each remedy, he concentrates on a set of essential central themes, around which he then organizes the remaining symptoms. This is an outstanding introductory work, ideally suited to acquire a feeling for the essence of the most important remedy pictures & the major symptoms. Vithoulkas has painted the essence of 51 remedies. While reading every remedy, a clear portrait of the patient with minute details comes out. 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 & slowness is visible at all the three levels. Many medicines are compared with other closely related medicines having similar symptoms. The comparison of the essence of various related medicines helps a lot in choosing a correct remedy. This book is reflective of the vast clinical experience & knowledge of the author. With this book he has carried the efforts of Kent in creating the remedy portraits to the next level. He has himself acknowledged that he has drawn a lot from Kents Materia Medica & 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 & the presentation of the material is very lucid & systematic. ...
