Homoeopathy has come a long way since its discovery by Samuel Hahnemann way back in 1796. As the years have progressed, homoeopathy has kept up with the pace, movement and rhythm of the world. Its philosophy has stood the test of time and emerged richer and stronger.

Newer remedies were discovered as years passed. Provings became more scientific, extensive and exhaustive. Keeping track of all the drugs and their indications became an uphill task as physicians had to sift through 1000s of pages of Materia Medica books in their search for the perfect similimum.

Today, Homoeopathy boasts of not less than 3000 remedies as part of its therapeutic armamentarium. The ever increasing data of homeopathic literature has gradually deemed manual repertorisation extremely tedious and time consuming. It is a major hurdle for every homeopath in his busy practice.

The introduction of the Computer revolutionised the field of technology and made its presence felt in all the fields of work spanning across the world, and homeopathy was no exception.

Modern homoeopathic practice entails a more clinical and practical approach towards patient diagnosis and remedy selection. The dynamicity of our science is such that we see the addition of newly proved remedies to the homoeopathic armamentum everyday.

Robin Murphy Repertory is the answer to the changing mode of prescribing in homoeopathy. The 3rd edition of the Robin Murphy Repertory is the upgraded version of the second, having 20,000 new rubrics and hundreds of new remedies.

The new Robin Murphy Repertory boasts of an updated database of modern medical terminology and disorders. It comprises thousands of new clinical rubrics that the physician can refer easily and in a more efficient manner.

An alphabetical mode of formatting of the Chapters as well as the rubrics and sub-rubrics makes searching through the vast and well-researched 74 chapters in the Robin Murphy Repertory an easy task and a delightful experience.
