Homeopathy -Science and art

Application of Homeopathy in practice is identical to Indian classical music.where each raga carries definite notes and sequence( Materia Medica) and it is mathematical in nature( Organon), yet each of the performer creates the ragas, artistically with in the sphere of those notes, which is absolutely governed by the laws of rhythm and notes.Even the slightest deviation will change the color of that Raga.It is an art, but governed by certain stringent laws.

Similarly Homeopathy is governed by laws of Organon, knowledge of Materia Medica and other laws.Thus each one of us develop and create the pictures of drug personalities, in our mind by reading various Materia Medicas and we look for these drug pictures in the real individuals, who come to us for their treatment.A slight mismatch and we may land with wrong prescription.Even after the use of proper repertory, we have to make final decision for the selection of remedy,depending upon most close drug picture.The same medicine Aconite may match with different patients, suffering from different diseases, in different situations.Selection of Homeopathic medicine is an art, embedded in science.
The book by Margery Blackie about the drug pictures is a suitable example.
