Dr. Anurag Deshmukh was born on 8th June, 1972 at New Delhi. Author's parents were keenly interested in study of homeopathy and used to prescribe homeopathic remedies to acquaintances and relatives for day-to-day ailments. Thus, born in an environment conducive to homeopathy, he was inclined to opt for homeopathy as his career. He completed his education in homeopathy from Ahmednagar Homeopathic Medical College, Ahmednagar in the year 1993. As a student, he was among the top few in both academic accomplishments as well as extra curricular activities. He was a good orator and also took active participation in drama and stage acting. He won many intercollegiate debate and drama competitions. During his student days he was awarded the best male actor award in inter¬college drama competition. With a view to gain wide experience in homeopathic practice he worked as an assistant physician with many physicians including Dr. S. Karnad, a legendary figure in homeopathy in Central India.

He functioned as the lecturer and In-charge, Department of Case taking & Homeopathic Repertory in Antarbharti Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Dabha, Nagpur in the years 2001 and 2002. He is not only a strong advocate of practicing homeopathy in accordance with the principles and philosophy of homeopathy but is also uncompromising wherever principles are involved. His affection for students prompted him to create a work that would bridge the gap between theory and practice, the need for which is usually felt by fresh graduates, as a result this book was born. The book is an expression of his strong desire and zeal to propagate a scientific approach to homeopathic practice. He is currently the Secretary, Homeopathic Study Circle (HSC), and takes active interest in organizing academic discussions under the aegis of HSC established in 1965 (one of the oldest organizations of homeopathic physicians in Central India).
