What is Kent's Repertory?
Kent's Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica — first published in 1897 by James Tyler Kent — is the most widely taught and referenced repertory in homeopathic education worldwide. It contains approximately 68,000 rubrics organised into 37 chapters (Mind through Generalities), with remedies graded by three levels of clinical confirmation.
Kent's structure is the foundation of almost every modern repertory: Murphy, Complete Repertory, and Synthesis all inherit Kent's chapter order and hierarchical logic. If you're learning homeopathy, Kent is where you start.
