A Modern Materia Medica for Everyday Practice

Nature’s Materia Medica is the fourth edition
of Robin Murphy’s original Homeopathic Remedy Guide,
first published in 1995.

The fourth edition represents a major revision and expansion
of the previous work. It includes more than 100 new remedies,
thousands of additions and updates, expanded clinical information,
new cross-references and more modern terminology.

The result is a practical, easy-to-navigate reference designed

The Sections Inside Every Remedy Monograph

Built Upon Classical and Modern Sources

The remedy monographs draw upon the work of many influential
homeopathic and herbal authors, including:

Allen, Anshutz, Bach, Boericke, Burnett, Clarke, Cooper,
Hahnemann, Hale, Hering, Julian, Murphy, Nash, Paracelsus,
Phatak and Rademacher.

These historical sources are combined with modern terminology,
clinical observations, new provings and updated remedy information.

Designed to Complement the MetaRepertory

Nature’s Materia Medica, Fourth Edition was redesigned
to work alongside Robin Murphy’s
MetaRepertory, Fourth Edition.

The two works use similar terminology, remedy abbreviations
and alphabetical chapter structures. This allows practitioners
to move naturally from the patient’s symptoms, to repertorisation,
and then to a detailed study of the leading remedies.

The alphabetical schema includes familiar chapters such as:

Abdomen, Back, Chest, Ears, Eyes, Face, Female, Food, Head,
Heart, Kidneys, Limbs, Lungs, Male, Mind, Mouth, Nose,
Rectum, Skin, Sleep, Stomach, Throat and Vertigo.
