The aim of SYNOPTIC REFERENCE is to present a wealth of information in the homeopathic materia medica in a concise but thorough manner.

In Synoptic Reference 500 remedies have been selected from over 6000 available remedies, ranging from the most traditional to the very new. Some are well-known with many uses and others are rare and little known. All are presented with a host of useful information. Moreover, some remedies do not appear in an appreciable way in any other materia medica.

The remedies occur in the following divisions –

Plants- 274

Minerals -132,

Animals – 64 Animals,

Nosodes- 18 Nosodes,

Fungi- 10 Fungi

Imponderbilia – 2

This accurately reflects the proportion of various kingdoms and groupings in the entire homeopathic materia medica that plant kingdom is by far the largest, followed by minerals and then animals.
