Polarity analysis is an expansion of Boenninghausen’s concept of contraindications, illustrated by Dr. Heiner frei MD a renowned paediatrician, to increase the consistency and reliability of homoeopathic prescriptions. This study aimed to prove that for an accurate homoeopathic prescription, the characteristic of a remedy should not be contraindicated by a strong opposite in the patient {in the footnote of aphorism 213 in Organon of medicine}.

Methods: An attempt was made to select a simillimum in patients with renal calculi who received homoeopathic treatment in Dr. GGHMCH, by using the Polarity analysis software and thereby assessing the results with the aid of Modified stone Criteria.

Among 60 cases 30 (Group A) cases were prescribed a similimum based on their constitutional totality. The remaining 30 (Group B) cases were rechecked for contradictory symptoms and the remedy which scored the highest polarity difference was prescribed.

Results: Out of 60 cases, 30 cases (Group B) prescribed based on polarity difference showed remarkable improvement than in 30 cases (Group A) prescribed based on constitutional totality.

Conclusion: This study validates that in choosing the medicine for a patient we have to find the one, whose characteristics best correspond to the characteristic patient\'s symptoms.
