 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”.
