REPERTORY SYLLABUS
IV BHMS
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.
Case taking:
Difficulties of taking a chronic case. Recording of cases and usefulness of record keeping.
Totality of symptoms, prescribing symptoms: uncommon peculiar and characteristic
symptoms. Analysis of the case uncommon and common symptoms. Gradation and
evaluation of Symptoms. Importance of Mental symptoms. Kind and sources of general
symptoms. Concomitant symptoms.
Teaching of repertorisation should not merely be reduced to rubric hunting exercises.
Patient is not a bundle of rubrics.
Logic of Repertory, is delivered from Organon of Medicine as such Repertory should not be
taught in isolation. Due emphasis should be made to:-
a. Learning the language of repertory i.e. meaning of rubrics in correlation with Materia
Medica and clinical experiences.
b. Correlation of Repertory with Therapeutics and Materia Medica.
1. History and development of repertories till date.
2. Types of repertories.
3. Explanation of terminologies used in various repertories.
4. Boenninghausen’s therapeutic pocket book and Boger Boenninghausen’s repertory.
5. Kent’s repertory.
6. Introduction to card repertory.
7. Specific regional repertories ALLEN’S FEVER, BELL’S DIARHOEA with their
comparison.
