There are different approaches to the practice of homeopathy. In the classical approach, one remedy is prescribed at a time... Pluralist homeopathy involves the prescription of several single remedies at a time or close together, often in alternation, according to the practitioner's perception. 1, record 1, English, - pluralist%20homeopathy

The practice of classical or unicist homeopathy involves a detailed case-taking by the homeopath where the patient is examined and listened to while they explain in as much detail as possible their present symptoms, thoughts and feelings and the past history which has led up to the present reason for consulting the homeopath. After recording the patient's case the homeopath will analyse the whole picture and by comparing the symptoms to the known remedies in the ’materia medica’ seek to find the single remedy which best covers the patient's expressed symptoms mental, emotional and physical. 1, record 3, English, - unicist%20homeopathy

Cure by a homeopathic medicine is rapid, gentle and permanent if correct remedy in suitable dose is given.... To come to a correct remedial diagnosis we should have the symptomatology of the person.... All signs and symptoms(mental & physical) of the person should be taken in account.... Remedial diagnosis : This is the most important part as far as homeopathy is concerned. For this the selected symptoms are arranged in a systematic order on the basis of importance. Symptoms are analyzed to find out the importance of each symptom for the selection of a remedy. Remedies are selected on the basis of similarity. Suitable remedies are diagnosed by a process called repertorisation.... By this process we will get the remedies covering maximum important symptoms of the patient. 2, record 5, English, - remedial%20diagnosis

The routine use of remedies by aetiological rubrics as suggested in Sequential Therapy [ST] lacks a complete comprehension of the importance of balancing constitutional factors, aetiology and symptomatology in Homeopathy. To believe that such symptoms are not available is to say the individual has no mind, temperament, constitution, nor a vital force that reacts to the environment.... In the final analysis ST does not place enough emphasis on the individualization of treatment nor on differentiating constitutional factors. Not everyone needs Natrum Muraticum for ailments caused by grief, Staphysagria for humiliation, nor Opium for fear as suggested in ST. 1, record 7, English, - individualization%20of%20treatment
