The study of 'sarcodes is one of the most greyarea of homeopathic materia medica , which has not yet been throughly explored . Most of the sarcodes are not proved as per standard guidelines of Dr. Hahnemann nor majority of them been clinically verified . On scrutiny of the available literature on sarcodes , a lot of differences and contradictions are witnessed which lead to confuson in the minds of the readers , particularly in respect to their sources , preparation , clinical applicability , effective potencies & doses etc .There is no clarity whether sarcodes should be earmarked as a separate class of 'animal kingdom' . Moreever the signs and symptoms of each sarcode are not documented uniformly in different homoeopathic Materia Medicas , which naturally confounds the readers.
