Repertory
Repertorization is not the end but means to arrive to the
simillimum together with Materia Medica based on sound principles
of Philosophy. Homoeopathic Materia Medica is an encyclopedia of
Symptoms. No mind can memorize all the symptoms or all the drugs
with their characteristic gradation. The repertory is an
index and catalogue of the symptoms of the Materia Medica, nearly
arranged in a practical form and also indicating the relative
gradation of drugs, and it greatly facilitates quick selection of
indicated remedy. It is impossible to practice Homoeopathy without
the aid of repertories.
Each repertory
has been compiled on distinct philosophical base, which determines
its structure. In order to exploit full advantage of each
repertory it is important to grasp thoroughly its conceptual base
and construction. This will help student to learn scope,
limitations and adaptability of the repertory.
