Limiting searches to Characteristic Symptoms

Suppose you have a patient whose problems center around the gallbladder. Not only the physical but the emotional symptoms are classic for gallbladder so you want to see what remedies especially focus on this organ.

If you search for "gallbladder" you find 155 remedies; every remedy that could have gallbladder symptoms, but not necessarily those whose focus is the gallbladder.

A great way to do this is to only search those books that give the central features of the remedies; if these books mention the gallbladder chances are it is a central feature of the remedy. These books include Boericke, Phatak, Morrison, Mangialavori, Boger, Vermeulen and some others.

Press on the small icon of the book in the lower left of the window. The menu under this icon limits the search to particular books. Select "Characteristic MM".
