How to read a Materia Medica without trying to memorise it
Boericke, Allen and Kent are three different kinds of book pretending to be the same kind of book. Knowing which one you are holding changes how you should read it.By Dr. Harish · October 27, 2026 · 5 min readOrganon & Philosophy
Organon & Philosophy
RepertoryOrganon of Medicine aphorisms 1 to 10, explained
What Hahnemann says in the first ten aphorisms of the Organon, what each one means in practice, and how examiners ask about them. With a quick-review table for revision.By Dr. Harish Kumar · October 26, 2026 · 11 min readRepertory
Materia MedicaConcomitants: the symptom that has no business being there
Bönninghausen built a method on the symptom that accompanies the complaint for no pathological reason. It is the most under-collected data in student case-taking.By Dr. Harish · October 23, 2026 · 5 min readMateria Medica
RepertoryBryonia or Rhus tox? One modality decides most of these cases
The most commonly confused pair in student practice, and the most cleanly separable. The distinction is not the complaint — it is what the patient does with movement.By Dr. Harish · October 20, 2026 · 5 min readRepertory
Student & BHMSModalities: the half of every symptom students forget to ask for
A symptom without a modality is barely a symptom. Most students know this and still record "headache" — because nobody taught them the questions that reliably produce one.By Dr. Harish · October 16, 2026 · 5 min readStudent & BHMS
Student & BHMSTotality of symptoms: what it means operationally, not as a definition
It does not mean all the symptoms. It means the symptoms that, taken together, distinguish this patient from everyone else with the same diagnosis — and that is a much smaller set.By Dr. Harish · October 13, 2026 · 5 min readStudent & BHMS
Case AnalysisA case-taking proforma you can use tomorrow
A blank page is the enemy of a good first consultation. Here is a structure that fits a real 45 minutes, in the order that actually gets the information out.By Dr. Harish · October 9, 2026 · 5 min readCase Analysis
Case AnalysisAggravation, relapse or deterioration? Reading a worse patient correctly
"It got worse before it got better" is either an accurate description of a homeopathic aggravation or a way of not noticing that a patient is unwell. Four features separate them.By Dr. Harish · October 6, 2026 · 5 min readCase Analysis
RepertoryThe second prescription: the decision that separates practitioners
Choosing the first remedy is a skill you can study. Knowing what to do at the follow-up is judgement, and it is where most cases are actually lost.By Dr. Harish · October 2, 2026 · 5 min readRepertory
Organon & PhilosophyStrange, rare and peculiar: finding the symptoms that actually individualise
Organon §153 tells you to prescribe on the striking and unusual. It does not tell you how to recognise one at the bedside, which is where students lose the case.By Dr. Harish · September 29, 2026 · 5 min readOrganon & Philosophy
Organon & PhilosophyThe three miasms, read as clinical patterns rather than exam definitions
Psora, sycosis, syphilis. Most students can define them and almost none can use them. The difference is treating them as descriptions of how a case behaves over time.By Dr. Harish · September 25, 2026 · 4 min readOrganon & Philosophy
Hering's law of cure: what direction actually tells you
Above downward, within outward, reverse order of appearance. It is the most quoted rule in homeopathy and the most loosely applied. Here is what it can and cannot decide for you.By Dr. Harish · September 22, 2026 · 4 min readPage 1Older →
