Health In Homeopathy

Homeopathy has a great treasure of medicines but some of them are more commonly used. Such remedies are called "Polycrest Remedies", "Polycrest Medicines" or simply "Polycrests" and generally range between 40 and 60 in number. There is no standard and final list of such remedies. Each practitioner makes his own list depending on the type of cases received and needs of his/her clinic. For example, if a practitioner gets more cases having stomach problems, he would keep the medicines that are more commonly used for stomach troubles and similarly if another practitioner receives more of chest related cases, his list of medicines would be different.

How to make your own list of polycrests

As you read about individual medicines, you would notice that homeopathic medicines are multipurpose and each of them covers wide range of symptoms. Polycrests particularly cover lots of symptoms that belong to various diseases. That is why homeopathy is capable of effectively treating most of the diseases. The point to note is that when a medicine is selected for a particular set of symptoms, it is not necessary that the person would have or should have all the symptoms indicated under that medicine. At times even key symptoms would only be considered but generally overall picture of the symptoms is considered to make the selection giving special importance to key symptoms. This rule is applied particularly in chronic cases. In acute cases, the methodology is somewhat different. However, each practitioner has own ways of doing it and maintains his own list of medicines. I am told of a practitioner who had just two medicines in different potencies at his clinic. His plea was that the cases he received could be treated by just those two medicines. This is not a good example though but it can happen. If you are beginning to start own clinic, you should not stuff your clinic with every medicine that you can think of. You don’t have to impress the people with the size of your dispensary. Start with few dozen common medicines and keep adding according to the nature of cases your would receive at the clinic. That way you would have a better and easily manageable dispensary. Here is a sugested list of medicines to start with. You can change it as you feel necessary.
