Materia Medica Online
Search Boericke, Clarke, Kent and 18 other classic books in the browser. Semantic search, a linked repertory, and synced cases — free to start, no download.
What materia medica online actually is
A printed Boericke is a book. Materia medica online is the same kind of library — remedy pictures, keynotes, modalities — searchable in a browser so you can move from a shortlist to the full portrait without juggling volumes.
Similia ships 21 classic books on the free tier, including Hahnemann, Farrington, Dunham, Guernsey, Hughes & Dake, Hale, H. C. Allen, T. F. Allen, Boericke, Clarke, Kent, Hering, Nash, Boger, Lippe, and Paterson. Semantic search maps everyday wording to the author's language. Jump from a monograph into the materia medica hub or the library and keep the analysis on a cloud case. That is the query this landing is built for — not a household first-aid blurb.
Online materia medica: how Similia works
An online materia medica for practice needs more than a searchable PDF. You need several authors on the same remedy, a way to search by symptom as well as by name, and a repertory sitting next to the book.
21 classic books on Free
Hahnemann, Farrington, Dunham, Guernsey, Hughes & Dake, Hale, H. C. Allen, T. F. Allen, Boericke, Clarke, Kent, Hering and more — readable together. Scholten's series sits on every Pro tier.
Semantic search, not only Ctrl+F
Type "worse from 4 to 8 pm" or "fear of being alone" and Similia surfaces matching passages without requiring the author's exact 1901 phrasing.
Repertory in the same workspace
Seven classical repertories on Free. Confirm the picture, then open the rubric.
Homeopathic materia medica online — and the free kind
People who type online homeopathic materia medica usually mean one of four things: a static public-domain HTML book, an academy reading room, a consumer remedy list, or a practitioner library with search. They are not interchangeable. Similia's free plan is the last of those: 21 complete classic texts, semantic search, seven classical repertories, and case management capped at 3 new cases and 3 analyses per month.
Pro is optional. You add it for Scholten, premium repertories, or the AI toolkit — not to unlock Boericke. The longer search workflow lives on the materia medica online search article. This page is the conversion landing for the query.
No credit card, no time limit
The free tier does not expire. Clarke and Kent stay available after the 14-day Pro trial ends.
Real monographs, not first-aid blurbs
Full classical entries you can show a supervisor — not a three-line household card for Arnica.
Cloud cases on the free cap
3 new cases and 3 analyses per month — enough to learn the loop before you pay.
Modern MM is not on Free
Scholten's series is on every Pro tier. We do not pretend the free library is 35+ books.
What ranks for online materia medica today
The live US SERP for that query is an academy library, two static HTML books, a public-education list, and our own blog. Filled, not clipped — names as plain text, no vendor hrefs.
