Repertory of Striking Rubrics of Mind in Homoeopathy
After Hahnemann, it was J.T. Kent who elaborated the process of case-taking. He laid down that the peculiar, rare and strange symptoms in case-taking (which should include all the symptoms of the Mind-Body organism and not the chief symptoms only)are the most important ones and should be given the highest priority. These peculiar, rare and strange (PRS) symptoms should run across the Mind, the Generalities and the Particulars. Even the particular symptoms pertaining to particular organs should be evaluated similarly. We found that this rule was quite true as far as the bodily symptoms are concerned. That is why all the classical homoeopaths who worked on the bodily symptoms mostly were quite successful practitioners. Their success was because they were thoroughly familiar with the detailed provings of the medicines, as and when these appeared in the homoeopathic journals from time to time, and they were thus able to pick up and memorise the PRS symptoms easily. The results were dramatic in the hands of many classical homoeopaths.
