The pharmaceutical aspect of Homoeopathy is as unique as the science. Dr Hahnemann, himself a through researcher and a chemist prepared Causticum, made mercury soluble and discovered the latent sub-atomic healing energy of the daily used things like salt. This book deals with the various aspects of preparation, sources, process of collection of drugs, way of writing prescription and techniques of drug proving. It aims at organizing a pharmacy in such a way that maximum purity of medicines is achieved. Treatment, as one would agree, depends on the efficacious quality of drugs. Enchances its reading by the meaning of certain commonly used terms in pharmacy and suggestion is for a good laboratory. This book gives very clear guidelines for running an efficient laboratory where quality is the goal. Its simple and easy-to-comprehend language will make pharmacy and its basic concepts very clear to the student.
