Dr Vidhi Vashisht1, Dr. Vartika Garg2, Dr Anvesha Yadav3

Abstract: The Repertory helps us to find out the required symptoms, together with medicine or a group of medicines under different grades. In Homeopathy according to the Kent- Three Mark (1st Grade) remedies are felt strongly by all the provers or majority of provers. They have been proved, reproved and clinically verified. If it is the only remedy in a rubric – that have definite action in Homeopathy. This article focuses on the single remedy 3 marks rubric in extremities chapter from Kent’s repertory.

Keyword: Kent repertory, Homeopathy, single remedy rubric, Extremities chapter

Introduction:
Extremities chapter is the most vast in whole Kent repertory which has many rubrics and especially the pain in extremities have been given in 120 pages of the book and its absolutely hopeless without knowledge of the arrangement and proper ideas of how it can be better helpful in our day to day practice. Through this article we can emphasised a clinical importance of extremities chapter from Kent repertory as chapter extremities have been included as demerit of Kent but by studying 3+ gradation remedies it facilitates us to rely and prescribe them frequent in our day to day practice due to their marked significance as clinically verified medicines. Through the detail study of these marked important rubrics we get many specific symptoms of particular remedies example fanning in general ameliorates includes medicine like china,…….. but here if a patient has desire to be fanned only on the

legs and arms this we can go n see and we get single remedy marked 3+ gradation medorrhinum. ( Extremities, fanned, wants hands and feet = Med). By knowing our repertory, when we listen something from the patient and we know that it is peculiar or strange and it is listed in the repertory and we can recognize it.

Conclusion: “The Kent Repertory is such a maze, but once a thread is in hand you can penetrate with ease its deepest recesses but without clue, you are hopelessly lost.” These great lines said by Dr R.P Patel, so here this is our attempt to put the thread in your hands which helps us to find out the required symptoms, together with medicine. In This study, we can read any single drug under extremities chapter, 3 marks rubrics.
