Repertorization is not the end but means to arrive to the simillimum together with Materia Medica based on sound principles of Philosophy. Homoeopathic Materia Medica is an encyclopedia of Symptoms. No mind can memorize all the symptoms or all the drugs with their characteristic gradation. The repertory is an index and catalogue of the symptoms of the Materia Medica, nearly arranged in a practical form and also indicating the relative gradation of drugs, and it greatly facilitates quick selection of indicated remedy. It is impossible to practice Homoeopathy without the aid of repertories.

Each repertory has been compiled on distinct philosophical base, which determines its structure. In order to exploit full advantage of each repertory it is important to grasp thoroughly its conceptual base and construction. This will help student to learn scope, limitations and adaptability of the repertory.
