Prescribing on a Single Rubric

Abstract

Homeopathic prescribing depends on accurate case taking and correlation of information. This can be difficult if there is a paucity of symptoms. These cases illustrate one possible technique in such situations.

Two elements seem to be of use in these circumstances. The first is the need to select the more striking singular uncommon and peculiar symptoms'. The second is the reliability of the information in the homeopathic literature. At times there is only one outstanding feature in the case and nothing else to confirm the prescription.
