Materia medica (English: medical

material/substance) is a Latin medical term for the

body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic

properties of any substance used for healing (i.e.,

medicines). The term derives from the title of a

work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius

Dioscorides in the 1st century AD, De materia

medica, 'On Medical Material' (Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς

in Greek).

The earliest known writing about medicine was a

110-page Egyptian papyrus. It was supposedly written

by the god Thoth in about 16 BC. The Ebers papyrus

is an ancient recipe book dated to approximately

1552 BC. It contains a mixture of magic and

medicine with invocations to banish disease and a

catalogue of useful plants, minerals, magic amulets

and spells.


Hahnemann gave us a detailed description of materia medica in aphorism 143. He says, “Materia medica is a collection of real, pure, reliable, mode of action of single medicinal substances, a volume of the book of nature where is recorded a considerable array of the peculiar changes of the health and symptoms ascertained to belong to each of powerful medicines as they were revealed to the attention of the observer in which the likeness of the ( homoeopathic) disease elements of many natural disease to be hereafter cured by them are present, which in a word contain artificial morbid states that furnish for the similar natural morbid states the only true homoeopathic that is to say, specific therapeutic instrument for effecting their certain and permanent cure”.


“The most expert healer is the man who

knows how to handle his Materia

Medica”- Dr. C.M. Boger
