Abstract

Books on Homoeopathic Materia Medica usually contain multifarious symptoms obtained from various sources like homoeopathic pathogenetic trials (drug provings), clinical verifications, toxicological actions, folklore claims etc. Such vast assemblage of symptoms and signs of drugs often makes it difficult to memorize, both by teachers and students. Therefore, some authors and teachers have developed mnemonics for such drugs to easily comprehend and memorize their symptomatology. The present article is an epitome to aid the novice teachers,students and clinicians to fulfil this objective.
