Instructions for using the the Online Remedy Finder Software
The ABC Homeopathy remedy finder can help you find which homeopathic
remedies you need, quickly and simply, using a plain English
translation of Kent's Repertory. Just enter your symptoms, tick
the relevant boxes and choose the remedy. A valuable tool for
the amateur and the professional, our free and easy homeopathic
software makes it easy to find the similium, from around
64,000 symptoms and 650 remedies.
Remember though; nothing on this site is intended to constitute
a diagnosis, or a claim for the effectiveness of any remedy
in treating any condition. Minor symptoms can often be a sign
of something more serious, so if your symptoms persist or worsen,
go and see your doctor, or a homeopath.
-
Enter your symptoms
The home page of the homeopathic remedy finder offers you
a choice of Searching or Browsing to find your symptoms. If
you choose to search, bear in mind that you are searching
for symptoms, not a condition. (ie search for headache,
sore throat, exhaustion, sneezing, coughing, running nose
rather than flu).
We also allow users to group a symptom set by the name of
a condition, but be aware that these conditions will not be
exhaustive lists of possible symptoms. Although these are
quicker and more convenient to use, you should supplement
them with other symptoms specific to your case.
The more symptoms you include, the more accurate the final
result will be. See the guide to self diagnosis
with homeopathy for more on this.
-
Refine your symptoms
In most cases, the results of searching or ticking boxes produce
more options; such as exactly where, when and how symptoms
occur. Just tick the boxes of all that apply and then press
either next button. Depending on the precision of your search,
you may also be presented with more options after that, as
sub options from what you have already ticked.
Homeoapthy requires exact definitions of your symptoms to
be useful. Therefore, there will be a maximum of 5 screens
of tick-boxes to refine your symptoms. You can choose to ignore
them, and just press next at any time to see the best remedy
matches up to that point; you can of course then use the back
button on your browser to resume ticking. If none apply, just
press next.
-
Select a remedy
The aim is to find the one remedy which best matches all your symptoms. When there are no more questions to be asked, you will be
presented with a screen showing details of the best remedy
for your complaint. Usually the remedy will not be appropriate
for all the symptoms you enter, and often there are other
equally likely remedies.
To differentiate between the most likely remedies, you can
also see the remedy grid, with the symptoms down the left
and the remedies across the top, by pressing the next button
again. They are arranged with the best match on the left,
and then less likely remedies to the right. A maximum of 12
remedies are shown at any time.
With the remedy grid, you can easily compare remedies, and
even rearrange the grid, prioritizing any symptom and discarding
others.
If there is no obvious remedy which matches better than the
others, and you really can't think of other symptoms to add,
you can describe your state of mind, or the colour and consistency
of your stool into the search box.
Tips for quick working
Repetorization (the process of finding the right homeopathic
remedy) will take a few minutes. If you find you've spent more
than ten minutes entering specifics of your symptoms, you can
probably skip to the end (by clicking the next button without
ticking anything) without loss of accuracy of the result. If
the result does not seem satisfactory, you can always use your
browser's back button to go back and pick up where you left
off.
Look out for the context help ( )
symbols, they provide instant help on whatever section they
are near.
