A truly valuable contribution from a teacher who keeps a passion for Homoeopathy in its true spirit. The personality traits of five temperaments namely, Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, Phlegmatic & Nervous are detailed in short& very nicely . After the reportorial description of important remedies we can read a crystal clear personality trait presentation in short words ,as well as pictures. Few drugs are mentioned below each temperament . There after famous characters from  popular films highlighting that temperament is interesting. Important remedies of  twenty two in number which have mixed proportions of temperaments are explained .

In the end we have five selected cases mentioned in which the similimum derived after reportorisation personifies the temperament of the case before.
Altogether this short monologue is a gem to sharpen your holistic approach in selection of similimum.

This book is vital for the BHMS Students also, as the details of temperaments is very scarce.

A good book worth for practitioners also.

We expect more in future  from the learned personality of Dr. Parinaz of the Mumbai School Of Homoeopathy.
