Bönninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book

The 1846 repertory that reads every symptom by its location, sensation, modality and concomitants — now free in Similia, on every plan.

The book as Bönninghausen built it

Similia follows C. J. Hempel's English edition of 1847: the book's seven parts, its 4,540 rubrics and the four grades of its type.

Browse it part by part, from Mind and Soul to the Concordances of the Medicaments.
Alterations of the State of Health gathers the modalities: aggravation by time and by circumstance, amelioration by position.
Every remedy keeps its grade from the book, from 1 to 4.
It appears as TPB in the repertory list, and Boger's Boenninghausen's Characteristics and Repertory beside it is now labelled BBCR.

Search the Pocket Book on its own or together with the other repertories, by keyword or by describing the symptom in your own words.

Keyword search finds its rubrics like those of any other repertory.
AI semantic search turns a phrase like “pains worse in cold air” into the rubrics that mean the same thing.
Add a rubric to a repertorization with its green + button.
In the analysis grid, its rubrics carry the TPB label beside those of your other repertories.

The book's last part sets out the relationships Bönninghausen recorded between 125 remedies, part by part.

Each remedy opens into its related remedies for every part of the book, from mind and soul to fever.
Antidotes and the concordances in general are listed with them.
The related remedies keep their grades, so the closest relationships stand out.
Read them in the repertory explorer like any other part of the book.

The Therapeutic Pocket Book is one of the eight classical repertories free on every plan.
