How to find the similimum with Boger-Boenninghausen's Repertory.Įvery repertory has it's own unique qualities, reflecting the Homeopathic philosophy of the author

That Boger compiled 105 printed pages of "Additions to Kent's Repertory" speaks volumes for his deep knowledge of and insight into the characteristics of the remedies and the construction of Repertories.ĭesai B. Roberts describes this new Repertory as perhaps one of the greatest pieces of Homoeopathic literature left by Boger, than whom there was never a more thorough student of Boenninghausen. He also added to this new work a number of remedies which were proved after Boenninghausen passed away. This Repertory, encompasses in one volume the various works of Boenninghausen-the original "Repertory of Antipsorics", the "Therapeutic Pocket Book", the "Sides of the Body", the Repertory part of the "Intermittent Fever" and "Whooping Cough" as well as a large number of paragraphs from the "Aphorisms of Hippocrates". He, therefore, adopted the plan of the Pocket Book and anlarged that work considerably into what we now call the "Boenninghausen's Repertory and Characteristics".

What impressed Boger during these studies was the form of the Therapeutic Pocket Book and its practical usefulness. Thus he was able to study, the original works of Boenninghausen in German and correct many faulty translations of his work in English. Boger-Boenninghausen Characteristics Repertory (BBCR) is renowned for it's usefulness with concomitant symptoms and the Heat / Fever / Chill chaptersīoger was an assiduous student of Boenninghausen and also a German scholar.
