Materia Medica vs Repertory

Hi friends,

Let us discuss a debatable topic.

We have Materia Medica and Repertory, tell me, which one is the final decision making tool, as far as remedial diagnosis is concerned?

Thanks for the comment. I feel both MM and Rep can guide and decide at the same time.

Dear Dr. Rafeeque....Good point. I think MM is the one to take a final decision. Many times i have had to chose betewen the first remedies for one according to my knowledge regarding MM...As you have mentioned in other discussion about repertories, i agree with the fact that the repertories are only index of remedies and symptoms...so far of the real description found it in MM.

Have a nice time...Best regards.
Dr. G

Dr. Amir, Rubrics covering single medicine have great importance, too.

That's a very nice question, In my practice if i say that MM is final word i will be wrong, if i say repertory is final word i will also be wrong. Repertory is a Very important tool which narrow down the selction of medicines. By the help of repertory we can minimize our search of medicines from hundreds to few and final selection goes to MM. So if repertories would not have been there it would have been very cumbersome and time taking to find out the medicine for a given case. So both are equally important.

It is like being an Indian, or being divided into Gujrati, marathi,bengali or punjabi.

Homoeopathy or repertory, materia medica, organon of medicine
