COMMON DESIRE AND AVERSION RUBRICS OF 3 MAJOR REPERTORIES {KENT,BTPB,BBCR}
INTRODUCTION
A good homeopath will never prescribe a remedy only on the basis of the patient desire and aversion. But he will definitely take those in the totality if they are PQRS (peculiar, rare, striking or strange, uncommon characteristics) as the master of homeopathy DR. SAMUEL HAHNEMANN said about the peculiar, rare, striking or strange, uncommon symptoms. DR KENT says the desire and aversion often give the key to complex totality of symptoms. Desire and aversion in homeopathy DR WILLIAM JEFFRSON GUERNSY published his repertory of DESIRE AND AVERSION IN 1883. Desire for (1st) and aversion to. Total 190 rubrics which are 132 rubrics related desire for and 58 rubrics related to aversion to. 4 grades bold capital, italics, roman. Roman in Bracket. There are over100s of rubrics on desire and aversion in homeopathic repertory. Some repertory mentions them under Desire (likes/cravings and aversion/dislikes) either in the chapter stomach or in generalities. A homoeopathic physician should choose them wisely as not every food or drink is mentioned in repertory. As the diet change with every region, Clinician will not find staple food in the repertory.
