| Dr. Clemens Maria Franz Baron Von Boenninghausen, MD (1785 - 1864)
He was Baron by inheritance, a lawyer by profession, and an agriculturist by natural inclination. It was in 1827 that he developed purulent tuberculosis. When he did not find any relief from the best orthodox treatment. Fortunately for Boenninghausen and for homoeopathy, Dr. Weihe, a homoeopath cured him.
On account of Dr. Boenninghausen's great learning and practice, King Wilhem IV, in July 1843, issued a Cabinet Order bestowing upon him all the rights and immunities of a practicing physician.
Contributions:
1. Classification of Characteristic Symptoms, and
2. Compilation of the First Repertory of Anti-Psoric Remedies.
Boenninghausen classified the characteristic symptoms into seven categories.
The second task allotted to him by Hahnemann was to prepare a 'Repertory' to make it easier to choose the correct homoeopathic remedy. Hence he was best fitted to compile the first 'Repertory'. Dr. Hahnemann used the 'Repertory' and found it very handy and useful. |
