Differentiating the medicines for a single symptom by Zomeo software

Differentiating the medicines for a single symptom of absentmindedness – utilizing zomeo software

Dr S Soundarya

INTRODUCTION:
Individualization is the one which distinguishes Homoeopathy from other medical systems. It acknowledges that no two situations or patients are alike, even though they have the same ailment. It asserts that a true therapeutic science must enable the physician to assess these disparities and determine the best course of treatment for each patient. These “differences” in clinical practice typically have a determining role in the treatment option. Homoeopathy is said to treat the patient rather than the disease. To put it another way, it individualizes. The author is intending to work on the theme of differentiating the medicines using a single symptom of absentminded through zomeo software suggested by different pioneers.

 CONCLUSION:
To go forward in the sea of Homoeopathy, differentiating the medicine is a required process. Homoeopathy is not only the science but also an art. Our art is to differentiate the medicines and to find the simillimum. This was easily assessed by zomoeo software and confirmed by many sorts of Materia Medica books.
