    • Scope Of Homoeopathy.

     1. Drugs Proved on healthy human beings—Drugs


    are proved on healthy human beings of both sexes,
    different ages & various constitutions.
     2. Wide range ofsymptoms for a single drug so
    selection of similimum becomes easy.
     3. Large number of drugs for various conditions.
     4. Helps in cure in structural changes also until & unless
    it is of irreversible pathology.
     5. Subjective symptoms are got during proving- so they are
    considered during treating.
     6. Homoeopathy comprises holistic, individualistic approach
     7. Understanding diathesis & disposition of person through
    materia medica helps to find out prophylactic remedy
     8. There are several deep acting remedies in homoeopathic
    materia medica with wide sphere of action ,so there is no
    difficulty in choosing the similimum. The materia medica
    comprises of a large number of drugs, each drug having
    many symptoms. Hence in any disease, it is possible to find
    a similimum without much difficulty.
     9. While receiving a case, the patient usually narrates
    his subjective symptoms. As drugs have been proved on
    human beings, the exact sensation, location, modality and
    concomitants are collected, so there occurs no such difficulty
    in choosing the nearest similimum .
     10. Study of homoeopathy helps in miasmatic evolution of
    person as well as drug
     11. Study of homoeopathy helps in formulating questions in
    case taking
    • Limitations of homoeopathy.

     Every science has some limitations. Homoeopathy is not an


    exception.

     1. No proving records are available on pathological


    changes in homoeopathic materia medica; there is no
    medicine, which has been proved upon the production of
    pathological changes in proper application on these drugs
     2. It is unimaginably vast. Nobody can remember all the
    symptoms.
     Eg. Drug like apis has covered 64 pages in Hering’s guiding
    symptoms, sulphur 99 pages in Allen’s encyclopedia.
     3. In cases of irreversible pathology-pathological symptoms are
    obtained from clinical practice after being cured and from records
    of poisoning as there is no special proving of dynamic drug with an
    intension to get pathological symptoms. Thers is lack of
    characteristic pathological symptoms in our MM. It has limited
    scope in irreversible organic changes or advanced structural
    damages takes place
     4. In cases of acute emergencies.
     5. Certain drugs which are partially proved- rare remedies–
    so utilisation becomes difficult.
     6. In proving practitioners attempted to characterize about 30
    modifications of the sensation of pain by much descriptive
    words like aching, boring, tearing, tingling etc. but in many
    case it is extremely difficult or even impossible to represent
    our sensation by words.
     7. Many of our provers were non medical men– so most of
    the symptoms lack authenticity.
     8. lack of sufficient female provers- so female symptoms
    less.
     9. No dependable pre operative, post operative or
    preventive drugs in our homoeopathic materia medica. It
    has little scope in the field of contraception,drug induced
    abortion and anaesthesia etc
     10. No dependable specifics.
     11. There is no book on materia medicawhich we can
    claim to be complete and containing everything.
    THANK YOU...!!
