PQRS Homeopathy – Characteristics symptoms of Materia Medica
Everyone knows Homeopathy treatment is individualized. Case taking itself takes vast time, to understand the patient completely including his/ her physical symptoms, Mental symptoms, Physical general, and life space. Analyzing everything and bringing out a similar remedy is not a simple task. Continuous learning is the wisest choice for any Homeopathic Physician to thrive in his field. Here are a few of my learnings which I made a note of in my notebooks and helped me many times to choose a remedy based on characteristic symptoms.
