Eye, paralysis of optic nerve, amaurosis, right:Bovista, China ,Arg.Nit

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I onced learned to be careful with too big rubrics (no individualization possible) but also with too small rubrics. When the other symptoms confirm the choice of the remedy then they are a valuable hint, but in this case we may also look at the following rubrics:

Eyes, Paralysis of, optic nerve, amaurosis*
Generalities, side, right/left

Bell is a strong right-sided remedy whereas Phos is more left-sided.

I do not deny the value of diagnosis, but we should always consider that we do not treat the "disease" but the patient with the disease. Homeopathic prescription is based upon the totality of characteristic symptoms, only this will allow to individualize all the remedies given in the clinical rubric "stroke" (Bell 3, Phos 2 besides a lot of others).
