It is the total symptoms of a person which includes mental generals,physical generals,particular symptoms ect.

All signs and symptoms (mental&physical)of the person is taken in detail.Knowledge about past illness,family history of diseases,food & bowel habits,notable causes,relation to climatic changes and constitution ect are noted down in a systematic order.

  1. Mental symptoms such as fear,anxiety,depression,anger,jealousy

  4. Particular/local signs & symptoms.This includes part affected, any swelling,discoloration etc.

    Systemic examination. Different systems are examined in a systematic order.(Respiratory system , digestive system, nervous system, cardiovascular system and etc.)

  4. Investigations. This includes lab investigations and other methods to find out any other major illnesses
  5. Final disease diagnosis. After doing all investigations the disease is diagnosed.
  6. Remedial diagnosis. This is the most importnant part as far as homoeopathy is concerned. For this the selected symptoms are arranged in a systematic order on the basis of importance. Symptoms are analysed to find out the importance of each symptom for the selection of a remedy.Remedies are selected on the basis of similarity.

Suitable remedies are diagnosed by a process called repertorisation. Here books called repertories are used. Repertory is the index of symptoms of materia medica (books which  contain the symptoms of drugs). Nowadays computer softwares are used for repertorisation. By this process we will get the remedies covering  maximum important symptom of the patient.

Amoung this group of remedies  the most suitable remedy is selected by referring various books and considering the life space investigation of the patient. The selected medicine is given in suitable potency & dose.
