HOW TO WORK WITH THE MATERIA MEDICA
AND WHAT CAN BE FOUND THERE
In order to understand the remedy it is best to read the common themes (3, 4) of the Order
(1) or Family to which it belongs. Reading the theory part in the beginning is also very
useful. The remedy homeopathic information is found in the centre (8, 9), while botanic
information is found mostly at the sides (5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12) and at the very beginning (2).
