What the other books say about Senega
The same remedy read by a different author. They disagree, and the disagreements are where the remedy becomes recognisable.
- Senega in Boericke — The concise clinical Materia Medica that most Indian colleges teach from, in full.
- Senega in Kent — Kent teaching a class, one remedy at a time — fewer remedies, far more on each.
