MasterDedication Bhagwan Shri Sathya Sai Baba For teaching me the religion of humanity so that I can practice for the rest of my life.Preface to the second editionI was thrilled by the overwhelming response to the first edition, received from both practicing homeopathic physicians and students living in India and abroad, who have found the hook to be very resourceful. It is through the feedback from all of you that I was inspired to bring out this new, frilly revised, second edition of my 'Clinical Observation's of Children Remedies'.I always emphasize, especially to the yotmg homoeopaths, the important role that proper history taking and detailed systemic examination plays, which is especially true in cases of children. Also during my lectures and seminars I try to teach this 'art of observation', because careful observation often provides vital information to prescribe successfrilly.The 'Symptoms' in this book are not like a standard Materia Medica based on provings, but they are based purely on my experience, my own clinical observation (or confirmation) derived from 23 years of homeopathic practice in the hospital and in my own busy clinic (where I have a few homeopaths who work under my guidance and training). This is why the described remedies may not cover all the materia medica given in a standard textbook. Compared to the first edition the clinical examination and the introductory chapters have been revised. I have included various new personal observations and helpfril references throughout. I have added several new remedies bringing the total number in this second edition to 76.The remedies in this book are described in a completely new format. Each remedy is divided into two main parts:A.Identifying FeaturesB.Other Important SymptomsEach of these two main parts is further sub-divided into mental and physical symptoms. Here is the brief explanation for the same.Identifvins Features:I have purposely decided to put mental symptoms first as 'Identifying symptoms' because it is easy to understand a child by knowing his striking mental or physical traits. The symptoms in this part are extracted from the psychoanalysis of children with the help of clinical psychology.
