Repertory of Homeopathic Materia Medica by James Tyler Kent

Repertory of Homeopathic Materia Medica is a book by James Tyler Kent, a prominent homeopath, that contains a systematic and comprehensive inventory of homeopathic symptoms and remedies. It is one of the most widely used and reliable repertories in homeopathy.

The repertory is based on the philosophy of deductive logic, that is, from generals to particulars. It divides the symptoms into three hierarchies: general symptoms, particular symptoms, and common symptoms. General symptoms are further divided into mind and physical symptoms.

The repertory also uses modalities, which are the factors that modify or influence the symptoms, such as time, weather, position, etc

The repertory has 37 chapters, each covering a different aspect of the human body or mind. Each chapter has subheadings and sub-subheadings that organize the symptoms according to their location, sensation, causation, concomitants, etc. Each symptom has a list of remedies that correspond to it, with different degrees of intensity indicated by boldface, italics, or plain type.

Repertory of Homeopathic Materia Medicia is a valuable tool for homeopathic practitioners and students who want to find the most suitable remedy for a given case. It helps to analyze the characteristic features of the case and compare the different remedies that match them.
