PIONEERS OF HOMOEOPATHY |
|

|
 |
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.
