Anatomy is the science that deals with structural (morphological) arrangement of various components of an organ, tissue or part of the body and its correlation with function. As structural arrangement is based on function & functional requirement decides the structural arrangement, therefore anatomy forms firm foundation of whole art of medicine.

Anatomy in relation to Homoeopathy:

Dr.Hahnemann in his Materia Medica pura used anatomical terms abundantly.

This is a fact that each and every remedy has specific action on specific part or organ of body More over most of the clinical therapeutic books are written in anatomical terms to describe the drug affinity. Thus, proper knowledge of Anatomy is a must for every Homeopath to understand “Sphere of action of remedy” & in treatment of sick individual.
