- | Homeopathic literature often uses different names for a single substance and sometimes includes several distinct substances under a single name. When we prescribe a remedy, we (hopefully) base our prescription on a proving / clinical symptoms image of a substance as recorded in our books. These substances are denoted by distinct names, but the usage of these names vary from one author to another -- for example, your case may call for <span grade2>Mercurius Iodatus Ruber</span>, but the pharmacy has no remedy with such name, they have it under <span grade2>Mercurius Biodatus</span>. | + | Homeopathic literature often uses different names for a single substance and sometimes includes several distinct substances under a single name.

Also, various pharmacies use various source substances for homeopathic remedy preparation. The optional goal is to find out what exact substances are used to prepare specific remedies -- if their cooperation can be obtained. | Also, various pharmacies use various source substances for homeopathic remedy preparation.
