Résumé partiel
The ever expanding homoeopathic Materia Medica poses multiple difficulties for the physician whose aim is to prescribe a single and specific remedy. The homoeopathic discipline has also been under immense pressure in the past few decades from scientific practitioners to display “scientific plausibility”. Comparative analytical studies are an approach that can create a platform that can be utilized to address these challenges. Comparative analytical studies collect and compare existing data from various sources with the aim of formulating an improved opinion regarding a subject. Aim of the Study The aim of this study was to develop the learning, understanding, and teaching of the Anacardiaceae plant family of remedies by exploring and comparing the family’s natural history, respective homoeopathic symptomatology, and identifying concepts and ideas to facilitate the development of the “scientific plausibility” of homoeopathic medicine. The study focused on both similarities and differences that exist between the family’s natural history and homoeopathic symptomatology, ultimately extracting common features of both aspects and developing a new and better understanding of the Anacardiaceae plant family of remedies.
