Summary
The number of rubrics of aggravations is much more than of ameliorations. Modalities are the third component of Boenninghausen's “quad” i.e. sensations, locations, modalities [aggravation and amelioration] and concomitants. Recently we have seen an upsurge in various “modalities” to study and prescribe a remedy for e.g. Thematic, Periodic table, Vital sensation etc. This write-up is a modest attempt to focus on the one component [time-tested] “modality” of Boenninghausen's quad – Amelioration. Let amelioration be another feather in the cap of the “marathon methodology” of prescribing and studying drugs.
