How to Use Joseph’s Repertory

Joseph’s Repertory – Second Edition is designed to help users navigate Boericke’s classical rubrics with clarity and speed. The repertory follows a simple and intuitive structure, making it useful for both students and experienced practitioners.

1. Navigation and Search
Each chapter (Mind, Head, Eyes, etc.) is accessible from the main menu. A search box appears at the top of every chapter, allowing quick lookup of any symptom or remedy name.

2. Understanding the “General” Chapter
This new section brings together general or constitutional symptoms that affect the whole person—such as appetite, temperature, and sleep tendencies. It serves as a starting point for remedy differentiation when multiple organ-specific rubrics seem similar.

3. Inclusion of Indian Medicines
The repertory integrates over 50 Indian remedies mentioned by Boericke but omitted from many other repertories. These additions make the repertory more inclusive for practitioners working in the Indian subcontinent and for researchers studying regional materia medica.

4. Practical Use in Study and Practice

  • Students: can use the repertory to understand how Boericke’s text translates into rubric form and to compare remedy patterns.

  • Practitioners: can use it as a quick, mobile-friendly reference during case analysis.

  • Researchers: can cross-check clinical relevance of Indian medicines within established Boericke rubrics.

5. Ethical and Educational Use
The repertory is freely available for educational use. Users are encouraged to validate any clinical application through reliable Materia Medica sources and professional judgment.


Joseph’s Repertory represents an effort to preserve the integrity of Boericke’s work while enhancing accessibility for modern learners and clinicians.
