ORIGIN OF CONCEPT OF CLINICAL REPERTORIES: –
Regardless of the emphasis on individualization and prescription primarily based on attribute expressions, the emergence of medical repertories couldn’t be prevented in homeopathic observe as early as Hahnemann’s time. The grouping of medicines based on the title of illnesses, although discouraged by many stalwarts, has given beginning to medical repertories. The best trendy exponent of this observe is the late Dr. J Crompton Burnett, who has introduced as soon as extra to mild the huge therapeutic treasures which had been allowed to lie forgotten within the works of the good masters. Using nosological correspondence is one methodology utilizing which an analogous, if not probably the most comparable treatment could also be found.
All methods of discovering indications are open to practitioners and the medical avenue is one in all them. J.H. Clarke has described it like this, “Sure illnesses come to have sure cures assigned to them and all of the sufferers who’re discovered to be affected by any given illness should be dosed with one of many cures credited to it.”
Grasp Hahnemann was definitely not pleased with such form of observe; he described it as, “Treating the names of the illnesses with names of therapeutic actions” Such a form of observe was favored by Dr. J. Crompton Burnett. He expresses it as, “The actual fact is, we’d like any and each manner of discovering the suitable treatment; the straightforward simile, the straightforward symptomatic similimum, and the furthest attain of all–the pathological similimum, and I keep that we’re nonetheless throughout the strains of homeopathy that’s, an expansive, progressive science.”
As early as 1869, Bell’s Diarrhoea and in 1873 Berridge’s Eye, two very helpful medical regional repertories have been printed. Although the idea of such observe was conceived by Burnett he couldn’t compile a separate repertory for that objective and therefore the credit score for authoring the primary helpful normal medical repertory goes to J.H. Clarke.
THE PRESCRIBER offers with the remedy and the instructions as an alternative of coping with generalities and minute particulars for prepared utility to any case of any illness.[1]
Although many medical repertories can be found nowadays. Two of them are nicely referred to as ‘normal medical repertory. They’re-A Medical Repertory by J.H. Clarke and Materia Medica Repertory by O.E. Boericke.
The significance of medical repertories in homeopathy can’t be uncared for, (Contemplating FN§235 of Organon of Medication, fifth ed.) although Grasp Hahnemann has criticized the remedy of so-called “illness entities” as it’s a private occasion to a person; it’s unimaginable to construct a science merely by compiling a large number of particular person observations. It’s a “prima facie” methodology of decreasing the variety of possible comparable medication for a diseased situation bearing a nosologically label.
