•General rubrics
•Sides(one sided, left, right)
•Time
•Modalities and concomitants
•Extending to
•Localisations
•Sensations

16. Structural changes to kent’s
repertory/merits
• All the agg rubrics with amel sub rubrics
wee reorganised Eg.stooping
agg. amel ,became Stooping agg, amel
• Older terminology was replased when
clearly needed by more modern
terminology following the American
spelling: Eg. Miscarriage is included in
Abotion , Siesta is included in afternoon
sleep

17. • Replaced the inconsistent use of several
words with the same meaning by a single
word throughout. Ex. Micturation became
urination, qualmishness became nausea
• Some remedy abbreviations have been
changed to ensure less confusion about
what each abbreviation denotes. The
confusion was particularly marked for the
mineral,salts,metals,acidums and
aceticums Ex. Am-a – Am-acet.at-a- Nat-
ars

18. • Uniform arrangement has been used for
abbreviations of the remedies throughout the
book and in all the remedies e.g.
• - acet. for aceticum, acetica etc
• - ar. for arsenicosums or arsenicicusms
• - c for Carbonicums
• - cy for Cynatums
• - fcy for ferro-cynatums
• - M for all magnetas
• - l for lacticum
• - m for muriaticums etc.

19. • The degrees of the remedies in Kent’s
original repertory have been checked.
• Reorganizing rubrics in the” Mind
“chapter- there have been some important
changes and additions to the rubrics of
the mind chapter .

20. • Dreams rubric is mentioned in the mind chapter
instead of sleep chapter in Kent’s repertory. . The
Dreams represent emotional impressions and
mental strain.
• Bodily anxieties and apprehensions have been
included in the “mind” chapter under
anxiety. The reason for this is that, although felt
in a specific part of the body, it is still an
expression of emotional value and therefore
should be included in the MIND chapter. Of
course we also preserved those rubrics in the
specific body part chapter. Example: STOMACH;
Anxiety in has been included in Mind; Anxiety;
Stomach, in.

21. • In complete repertory, MIND - ANXIETY - stomach, in

24. • For pain of extremities and head, separate
chapters have created like EXTREMITY
PAIN and HEAD PAIN in order to
minimise confusion resulting from size of
them and the hierarchy.
• Rubrics related to face chapter are purely
mentioned in this chapter with cross references
at the old location . for ex. All locations of
eyebrows , eruptions outside nose,forehead etc.

25. • Desires and aversions are moved
to GENERALITIES chapter under the
rubric food and drinks
• In stomach chapter indigestion rubric
contain the modalities of indigestion
where as disordered rubric consist of all
specific food that cause indigestion.

26. • In respiration chapter rubrics given under
difficult and impeded are merged and put
under rubric difficult
• Wherever the rubric reorganizations have
made there the old rubric will be present
as it is without remedies for the easy
search with a cross reference to the new
rubric place.

27. • All noises in all different chapters have
been put together like in the ear, under
the main rubric “noises”
• In the ‘ abdomen’ chapter all epigastrium
locations have been moved to the
stomach chapter and have been put in the
general stomach rubrics there.

28. • The ‘aversion’ and ‘desire’ rubrics of the
chapter stomach have been moved to
generalities chapter, where they can be found
combined under the main rubric food and
drinks.
• In the stomach chapter the ‘indigestion’ and
‘disordered’ rubrics have been re-organized
so that now the ‘indigestion’ rubric contains
all the modalities around indigestion and
disordered and ‘Disordered’ rubric contains
all specific foods that causes indigestion or
disordered stomach.

29. • From the chapter Abdomen all the rubrics of
location of epigastrium have been moved to

• A new chapter have been created containing those
Speech rubrics from the Mind chapter that are
related to motoric problems and the voice rubrics
formerly found in the chapter Larynx and
Trachea. The rubrics of Speech related to mental
or emotional etiology or background have been
placed under the Mind chapter under the rubric
‘Talk, talking, talks’.

31. • In all the chapters the Discolorations and
eruptions have been re- organized so that all of
their sub- rubrics now fit the same
hierarchical layout. Their layout in the
Repertory is as follows:
General Rubric
• Time modalities
• General modalities
• Locations
• Specific colours or specific types

32. • In all chapters, the main pain rubrics except for
the HEAD PAIN and the EXTREMITY PAIN
chapter, have been re-organized hierarchically.
They start with
• General Rubrics
• Time modalities
• General modalities
• Causations
• Extending to
• Pain types including wandering, radiating and
pulsating.

33. • Lot of cross reference was created with
comparison with Kent’s repertory. For cross
references if no remedies are mentioned in the
rubric means after an arrow mark the cross
reference word will be given. If remedies are
mentioned a point sign is used before the cross
reference. If the cross reference is in different
chapter than the first word will be in
UPPERCASE. For ex. In mind chapter MIND,
FEAR, croud, in a GENERALITIES,
Crouded

34. • REPERTORY PAGE REFERENCES: Other
reference sources are mentioned with page
number in brackets immediately after the
rubric. For ex. ALCOHOLISM , dipsomania (
K36,S1 398, G28) means K for Kent repertory
page no.36, G-Repertorium generale, S1 or
synthetic repertory volume1.
• Fver chapter has been renamed to fever, Heat.
The chill chapter to chill, Chilliness.

35. • Many minor remedy abbreviations have been
changed in order not to confuse them with
other remedy abbreviations that represent
completely different remedies. Example:
Cocc-s. (Coccinella septempunctata, an insect)
has been changed to Cocci-s in order not to be
confused with Cocc (Cocculus indicus, a
plant). One might think Cocc-s is a further
species in the Cocc family, which it is not.
Example: Crot-t (Croton tiglium, a plant) has
been changed to Croto-t in order not to be
confused with Crot-h and Crot-c, the Crotalus
snakes.

36. • At the end of the Repertory, following sections
are given which makes the Repertory more
reliable and authenticated
• ∙ Bibliography
• ∙ Remedy Conversion
• ∙ Remedies and abbreviations
• ∙ Authors and I.D. numbers
• ∙ Families of remedies
• ∙ Authors and frequency
• ∙ Remedies and frequency

37. Special features
• Certainty about finding the correct rubrics and
remedies
• A complete overview of related rubrics using
cross – references
• A choice of information from old and new
sources, using the latest provings.
• The best possibilities for curing your patients
• And it is the most comprehensive repertory in
existence because it has: approximately
515,000 checked additions.

38. • New rubrics : were created when there were
no existing rubrics that covered their meaning
in Kent’s Repertory. We studied the meaning
of the rubric using the information in the
materia medica and the information in
contemporary dictionaries of the time. Also,
the rubric to be added should have real
homeopathic value, ie. the new information
should be information that helps the consulting
homeopath find the right remedy.
