Materia medica is a Latin term from the history of pharmacy for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing. The term derives from the title of a work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides in the 1st century AD. The term materia medica was used from the period of the Roman Empire until the 20th century but has now been generally replaced in medical education contexts by the term pharmacology. The term survives in the title of the British Medical Journal’s Materia Non Medica column.

Operative treatment is to be recommended in the case of therapy resistance, as in numerous cases this is successful (otosclerosis).
Inoculation damage (post-vaccination damages)
(Mainly reaction phases in the first instance, which however after usual allopathic therapy or suppression of the reaction phases, are converted into degeneration phases. It is, therefore, essential that the reaction phases of the inoculation pustules should not be repressed but approached purely biologically.)
Cellulitisous or carbuncular extension of the inoculation pustules
Encephalitis through smallpox vaccination (to be tried symptomatically)
Zincum metallicum-Injeel (forte) for restless legs, likewise Colocynthis-Homaccord (ampoules) or Gnaphalium polycephalum lnjeel forte, possibly also Circulo-Injeel as mixed injection, Arsenicum album-Injeel S and Rhus toxicodendron-Injeel (forte) S, possibly also Tarantula-Injeel (forte) for conditions of unrest, Baptisia lnjeel (forte) and Sulfur-Injeel S, possibly also Pulsatilla-Injeel S (coated tongue) and Bryonia-Injeel (forte) S; the latter particularly when the tongue has a brown coating, accompanied by typhus symptoms, as intermediate injections in place of Echinacea compositum S (in case too strong reactions result from Echinacea compositum S).
When subsiding, the smallpox vaccination pustules tend to develop again more strongly, possibly in carbuncular form. This is only a favourable sign. Therefore, merely apply a protective dressing without ointment, also no Traumeel S ointment.
