W. Boericke - Materia Medica and Repertory. This is regarded as the most valuable "quick reference" Materia Medica available, and most practitioners keep it beside them. You must realise that it is impossible to give all relevant symptoms relating to all remedies in such a small volume, however Dr Boericke has done a marvellous job. Don't hesitate to add additional symptoms in the margin. Some practitioners find the Repertory at the back of the book to be very useful. We shall mention this in Tutorial 5. There is also a therapeutic prescriber in the back, and a section dealing with relationships of remedies. Both of these have practical value.

I. Golden - Australian Homoeopathic Home Prescriber. Is a simple prescribing reference to help you choose remedies for everyday conditions. You look up the problem and see which of the remedies listed best fits the symptoms of the person you are prescribing for. There are many different prescribers available if you want other references.

J.T. Kent - Repertory of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica. This is generally regarded as the most important basic Repertory in Homoeopathy, and will be the one we use most in this course. It is explained in detail in Tutorial 2.

M.L. Dhawale - Principles and Practice of Homoeopathy. Dr Dhawale is a very experienced Indian physician and teacher. His book is one of the best general introductions to Homoeopathy. It can be solid reading at times, but is very comprehensive.
