yes, leela, thanks, that's the kind of thing i'm looking for. i'm not trying to oversimplify things, but i am finding that familiarity with remedies is facilitated when there are patterns, ways of grouping them, even as to "anxiety" remedies and the like.

but don't get alarmed, i'm not expecting to find a 'single axis' profile that will tell me to prescribe "this" when i see "that." after all, the more you can see certain similarities between remedies, the more readily you can also spot the things that differentiate them, as in discussions on my earlier thread about ign, nat-mur, and thuj.
