Materia Medica
Materia medica (English: medical material/substance) is a Latin medical term for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing (i.e., medicines). The term derives from the title of a work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides in the first century AD, De materia medica libre.
Although there are various homoeopathic Materia Medica, written by different authors and covering different specialities, the term Homoeopathic Materia Medica is often used to reference the total sum of homoeopathic preparations and prescribing options. Hahnemann developed the first Homoeopathic Materia Medica by a system of homoeopathic provings, where a substance was ingested by the “prover” and the symptoms that the “prover” developed were recorded in great detail. Materia Medica may also include accidental poisoning and some information from clinical treatment.
Dr. Bidani has written extensively over this subject of Homoeopathic Materia Medica and number of his writings are published in various national as well as international journals and magazines.
