Homeopathic repertory

A homeopathic repertory is essentially and index of symptoms arranged in some logical fashion. Each symptom or Rubric has beside it a number of remedies which are known for symptom. By known we mean that the symptom has some relationship to the remedy. It may have been produced in a proving. It may come from the clinical experience from a revered sauce such a Kent of Boenhausen of some modern even contemporary author. In any event a high degree of certaintity must be accorded any inclusion. Errors have occurred and are continually corrected. Debate is alive about the veracity of a particualar enclusion.

A line on the page of a Repertory might look like this.

Mind; Fear; Animals; Snakes, of (19): lach. abel. arg-n. ars. bell. calc. calc-s. carc. elaps. hep. ign. spig. sulph. syph.

Each of the above is an abreviation for the full name of a remedy such lach = lachesis muta. Often the is the abbreviation of the name of the author or authorative sorce form where entry derives. Such as "Schm" which indicates that is has come from the book Homeopathy and Minerals by Jan Scholen.

The most popular modern Repertories are The Complete Millennium Repertory and Synthesis.
