Encyclopaedia Homeopathica is what it's name is - 'Encyclopedia'
of Homeopathy in it's true sense. This is a materia medica software,
but is so much more too. First let me list some basic features of
this encyclopedia:
-
It comes with about 400 books on materia medica and philosophy
-
Provides access to host of journals and provings
-
Many seminar transcripts have been included
-
Materia Medica of 2,393 remedies is there
-
Therapeutics of 4,937 pathologies
-
Cases of 391 remedies have also been included
-
Cases also can be selected on the basis of pathology (1,142
possibilities)
This is just the information or content part. The excellence of
EH lies in the way it makes all this information accessible. But
before we talk about this, the content part needs more elaboration.
Encyclopedia Homeopathica (EH) comes with an enormous range of
Materia Medica titles, starting with the classic works of
Hahnemann, Kent, Allen, Hering, Boenninghausen, Clarke, Farrington,
Dunham, Lippe, Boericke and many others. Recent information such
as current provings, seminar transcripts, the works of George Vithoulkas,
Jan Scholten, Alphonse Geukens, Frans Vermeulen, Frederik Schroyens,
Paul Herscu, Jeremy Sherr, Roger Morrison, Nancy Herrick, Rajan
Sankaran, Bill Gray, Jonathan Shore, Robin Murphy, Ananda Zaren,
and Lou Klein have also been included.
To add to this, an extensive library of journals from the past
and present has also been provided. Many of these classic volumes
are not accessible in print anymore. In addition, numerous books
on Homeopathic Philosophy, including Hahnemann's Organon and Kent's
Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy, are available. A vast array
of never-before-published cases round out this comprehensive representation
of our homeopathic literature.
The software has been made in such a way that the user is not overwhelmed
by all this information. It's search facility is very robust. This
huge amount of data is searched within seconds for any query. You
want to find instances of a symptom in old literature, or you want
to look for certain pathology, or you intend to find more information
about some remedy or cases of a certain medicine - you can
find it very very easily with EH. Not just that, you can narrow
down your search to any family or book or author, even to
a paragraph! Instead of using proper search syntax for your queries,
you can use phrases to find the relevant information. All said and
done, the bottom line is that you need not be a geek to use these
excellent search capabilities.
Price: Encyclopaedia Homeopathica comes in various packages (A
to G). In each package the number of books vary and so does the
price. The price of the complete EH (package G) is $2295.
Judgment: It's extensive, it's fast, it's well-designed and
easy-to-use. It is everything you can ask for from a homeopathic
encyclopedia! It is costly....but...it's worth it!! The Best
Materia Medica software and Encyclopedia out there!! A hands-down
winner!
