A single-remedy study with a method attached: Paul Herscu’s Stramonium, with an introduction to analysis using cycles and segments.
The main text is a full study of Stramonium, taking in modalities, aetiology and differential diagnosis, and illustrated with cases. The introduction sets out Herscu’s method of cycles and segments, which he uses to pick out the central pattern in both a remedy and a patient, and the book adds his insights on treating people over time and on the hierarchy of symptoms.
The introduction starts from a problem in the practice of the symptom-based method. Herscu says the problem that concerns him most is the haphazard way of deciding which symptoms to base a prescription on.
The printed book appeared in 1996 from the New England School of Homeopathy and runs to 220 pages. It suits the practitioner who wants one remedy studied in depth and a framework for choosing which symptoms to rely on.
