A treatise on Organon of Medicine Chronic Disease and Homoeopathic Philosophy

Review on the third edition of ”A treatise on Organon of Medicine Chronic Disease and Homoeopathic Philosophy by Prof (Dr) Asok Kumar Das

Book review by Dr Mansoor Ali

We have seen many books on Organon of Medicine – the Bible of Homoeopathy – but this is something different.

The author succeeded in expressing and explaining the Hahnemannian concept clearly in simple language for easy comprehension of the original work so that the students teachers and practitioners in Homoeopathy will get the concept without much difficulty.

This book is written in a simple form, to provide the needs of the UG PG students and professionals in Homoeopathy – that is why the book is accepted by Homoeopaths across the globe within a short span of time.

The first edition of this book is published in 1983 with a beautiful forward by Dr Diwan Harish Chand. Now the third edition is available in the market.

This book is a torch bearer for new-generation Homoeopaths because, In addition to the Organon of Medicine
and Homoeopathic Philosophy – topics like the History and development of Homoeopathy in India, USA, Canada, and European countries, Life history, and contributions of early foreign pioneers and Indian pioneers are also included.
