Homoeopathic Prophylaxis is now one of the most searched topics in Covid 19 pandemic.

Homoeopathy had a good reputation in the field of prophylaxis, especially against acute infectious epidemic diseases. Ever since the founder, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann advised the use of Belladonna in the prevention of scarlet fever, homoeopathic medicines have done excellent service in the field of prophylaxis in many infectious diseases epidemics. This book reveals and documents and the techniques behind Homoeopathic Prophylaxis. 

This book tries to unearth evidence/database of the efficacy of homoeopathic preventive medicines in infectious diseases, and explore the various methods used and problems faced in this field. Various hypotheses regarding its mode of action, future research etc. are also examined.

The genetic mutation in different causative organisms was understood recently only. But master Hahnemann had identified the unique feature of each epidemic disease 200 years back – he advised considering each epidemic disease has a new and different one and selecting the genus epidemicus (prophylactic medicine) every time based on the features at that time.
