PDR for Herbal Medicines

Homeopathic Indications Index

Entries in this index are organized by specific indication, enabling you to quickly review the

botanicals used by homeopaths for a particular diagnosis. For ease of comparison with

prescription and over-the-counter medications, the index employs the same nomenclature found in

the Indications Index of the PDR Companion Guide™. Under each heading, herbs are listed

alphabetically by scientific name, with the accepted common name shown in parentheses. If an

entry lists two page numbers, the first refers to a photograph of the plant in the Herb

Identification Guide, the second to the herbal monograph. For more information on any of these

botanicals, be sure to check the appropriate underlying monograph.
