Drug proving is the systematic process of acquiring knowledge of the instruments intended for the cure of the natural diseases.[1] Drug proving is a method, unique to homoeopathy where the pathogenesis of a drug is evolved through its trials on apparently Healthy Human Volunteers (Provers) of different age and both the sexes.[2] Provings are an important part of homoeopathic theory and a mainstay of its practice since the first proving of Cinchona officinalis by Hahnemann in 1790.[3] Based on the pathogenesis, a drug picture is evolved, on the basis of which prescription is made. This provides a necessary tool to find the most appropriate remedy for the patient.[4]
