  • Abstract:
  • Polychrest remedies represent a foundational concept in classical Homeopathic prescribing. These remedies possess a wide spectrum of action across physical, mental, and emotional domains and are well represented in repertories due to extensive provings and clinical verification. Despite their prominence, excessive reliance on polychrests may limit individualized prescribing and obscure the use of lesser-known or organ-specific remedies. This paper explores the scope, clinical relevance, and limitations of polychrest remedies and highlights the importance of balanced remedy selection in contemporary Homeopathic practice.
