WISDOM FROM VITHOULKAS SIR

It is just an excerpt from essence of Materia Medica ,from Nux vom drug picture by VIthoulkas Sir.I feel I lucidly states  a very fundamental concept.

As always in homoeopathy, however, we must be careful not to prescribed Nux vomica on the basis of such positive and constructive personality traits. Unlike the techniques of astrology, palmistry, handwriting analysis, physiognomy and others, which describe the qualities of the person - whether for good or bad - homoeopathy bases its prescriptions on the pathological state of the person. We would not wish to give a remedy which might make a person less pragmatic and efficient! So, let us consider the states in the development of the pathological state requiring Nux vomica for cure.
