What is Seigal Method of prescribing?
Seigal Method is about practicing on the feelings of the patient which are later interpreted and matched with rubrics of the Mind. It was pioneered by Dr. M. L. Sehgal, who developed the concept that if a person is sick, he has a characteristic state of ‘present, predominating, persisting feeling’ connected to his/her sickness. This state of mind takes the form of outward expressions reflected in the form of speech and gestures. Thereby, allowing us to select mind rubrics while the patient is narrating the complaints.

The “Sehgal Brothers,” as Dr. M. L. Sehgal’s sons, Dr. Yogesh and Dr. Sanjay are popularly known, have been successfully carrying forward the glorious legacy of their father.
How does Seigal Expert System work?
Seigal expert system helps us choose the right medicine easily and quickly using mind as a base. Suppose, if the patient says “I don’t like to take allopathic medicine, because of its side effects or because I don’t want to spoil my body.”

The rubrics which may be considered are - Fear of being Injured or Fear of being poisoned by medicine.
What is ‘Understanding of Man’ section in Seigal expert system?
In Seigal expert system, many doctor-patient conversations (as described above), which are frequently encountered in practice, are described whereby, on selecting a particular conversation a set of rubrics can be viewed along with suggested remedy by the experts for that conversation.

Such easy is the method of finding the mind rubrics with this software, and it has been proved repeatedly for many years of great clinical results.

How many books of Sehgal School of Revolutionized Homeopathy are included in Seigal expert system?
Entire collection of books by Sehgal School of Revolutionized Homeopathy is included (12 books) in the software.
How does Kent Expert System work?
Kents method of analysis of symptoms is from generals to particulars. The causative factors are evaluated at the highest order, followed by mental generals, physical generals, particulars, and so on. Among the mental generals, those belonging to will and emotions are evaluated first followed by those belonging to the intellect.

The rubrics are automatically ranked in order of importance, irrespective of the order in which you have selected them. The final analysis is reflected in the remedy table. It is recommended to use this method, when your case has marked Mental Generals.
How does Boenninghausen Expert System work?
Boenninghausen applies the principles of concomitance. The totality of symptoms does not necessarily mean the sum total of symptoms, but it may be a single grand symptom which has the location, sensation, modality and a concomitant. These concomitants have been described by him as the unreasonable attendants in the case i.e., no scientific explanation can be given for their presence in the case, but they make their presence persistent and in a great intensity. In Boenninghausens analysis, these symptoms are evaluated considering them as most important in the repertorisation sheet.
How does Boger Expert System work?
The Boger method of repertorisation emphasizes on pathological symptoms or pathological generals to ascertain the seat of local disease. General descriptions like headache or toothache may not help in anyway, but the site and side of pain will greatly help in pointing to the right remedy. Boger also gives importance to the concomitants. It is recommended to use this method when the pathological or pathological generals are relatively more marked. The rubrics are automatically analyzed and rearranged at a single click, in order of importance of Bogerian evaluation, irrespective of the order in which you have recorded them while repertorizing the case.
What is Acute Expert System?
Acute Expert System by Dr. Prafull Vijayakar gives us the confidence to treat even acute conditions with ease and assurance.

This expert system is created out of essence of experience of 30 years of homoeopathic practice of Dr. Prafull Vijayakar. This method is extensively tried and tested. It is based on the flow chart of acutes, which is most updated and latest, with new remedies.
What is ‘Acute Prescriber’?

Cases are separately sorted in the ‘Cases’ section in software where 10 acute and all other chronic cases from Dr. Vijayakar’s books can be viewed.
What is Element Theory?
We always wonder why there were so few remedies that we really know well? What about Hafnium or Krypton or any other element? Jan Scholten, through his work on elements and minerals tries to fill these incomplete patches very successfully, through the study of periodic table.

Each series (horizontal row) and each stage (vertical column) in the periodic table represents a common theme. Each element too, can be studied in relation to its natural physical and chemical characteristics. For e.g., Stage 18 (Inert gases) is described by Scholten using the keywords like ‘Freedom’, ‘Inert’, ‘Quiet’, ‘Rest’ etc.

Jan Scholten’s work on elements & minerals is the greatest contribution in the world of Homeopathy. He has introduced us to many unknown or very partially known remedies like Lanthanides, Hafnium or Krypton.
How does Element Theory Expert System work?
Element Theory Expert System has a key feature called ‘Practical analysis’. It helps us to analyze to which stage and series does the patient belong. We can select any of the keywords and its intensity for analysis. As soon as we start recording keywords, the tool starts guiding towards the most appropriate stage and series to the case. This is a unique feature and allows you to analyze the case ‘on the fly’. Key words can also be recorded using the free flow case record provided on the same screen.

The detailed analysis can now be studied and applied in the process of final selection of remedy.

To know more, you can download the teaching video on ‘Element Theory Expert System’ here.

What is Tempraz?
Tempraz is a homoeopathic software by Dr. Parinaz Humranwala and Mind Technologies which helps and guides the physician to select the indicated medicine out of 100’s of medicine which come after working of a case.
What are temperaments?
Temperaments as defined in standard dictionaries:

Stedman’s Medical Dictionary:
It is the psychological and biological organization peculiar to the individual, including one’s character or personality predispositions, which influence the manner of thought and action and general views of life.

Webster Universal Dictionary:
  • Characteristic combination of bodily, mental, and moral qualities, which together constitute the character and disposition of an individual and predispose him to act and behave in a particular manner.
    • Specific, an intense, passionate nature and character. 
    Temperament is the behavior style or how of behavior as, or what of behavior, and the motivations, or why of behavior. It is n-dimensional. Our temperament, the “Real Me”, takes form according to our genetic material. Temperament, is the fundamental core of the individual, which manifests itself whenever an impression is made upon the mind, be that impression caused by thought - by thinking about something or by representation through the imagination - or by external stimuli. It merely recognizes basic differences that influence ones approach to life.

    It is part of what makes each individual distinct. Thus if we are able to identify the temperament of the patient, our choice of remedy becomes much easier.
How do we differentiate temperaments from personality?
Our temperament takes form according to our genetic material given to us at conception and remains constant throughout our life. The temperament is the “real me”. Personality is the dress one puts on over oneself. It is the overall facade that we portray, the attire and clothes that we wear, how we groom ourselves, the way we walk, talk, eat, sit etc. The personality is what we “see”, the outer shell of the coconut.
How does Tempraz work?
‘Tempraz Evaluation’ feature actually helps us to calculate and evaluate any patient’s temperament. There are ‘Tempraz words’ listed in it, which can be selected for evaluation in any particular case. Once we have selected a set of ‘Tempraz words’ for a case, the expert system suggests the dominant temperament/s of the patient.

We can simultaneously record rubrics for corresponding ‘Tempraz words’. Once we have finally repertorized a case, we can now apply ‘Temperament filter’ based on the ‘Tempraz evaluation’ and thereby narrow down on the right remedy for that patient. .
