#Boenninghausen therapeutic pocket book how to#
The Boenninghausen Therapeutic Pocket Book was the ultimate expression of Boenninghausen’s thoughts but to use it effectively, you had to understand how to sort the case as Boenninghausen did-and not many did. Until Hering’s death in 1880, most homeopaths were using Boenninghausen or Jahr. But buried within the book is the germ of a wonderful methodology. It is a book that, over the years, through poor translations and lack of understanding, has ceased to be considered useful. His Therapeutic Pocket Book was first printed 14 years later in 1846. The final source of information is found, of course, in Boenninghausen’s casebooks which are preserved at the Bosch Institute in Stuttgart.īoenninghausen is credited with having produced the first homeopathic repertory in 1832, The Repertory of the Anti-Psoric Remedies. It is filled with insights into Boenninghausen’s Method. Although extracts were printed in some English language journals about 25 years ago, the book in its totality remains only in German. His largest work, The Aphorisms of Hippocrates, with the Glosses of a Homoeopathist was due to be published in the US in 1863, but the Civil War intervened and by the time the War ended in 1865, Boenninghausen had died. His Lesser Writings was printed in English in 1908, but several of his pieces did not appear in this compilation. Unfortunately, much of Boenninghausen’s work is unavailable in English.

But if you want to see the Method in practice, look to Boenninghausen. If you want philosophy, look to Hahnemann. He said it very clearly: Hahnemann was the experimenter. Gypser in Germany, we discussed many topics including the methodology of Boenninghausen who, Gypser says, was (along with Lippe in the USA) the best of the old prescribers.
