Abstract
Case taking is an art on which the prescription was based. A proper case taking is essential for the successful process of the study of the repertory and Repertorisation. And after case taking the most difficult part is converting the symptoms of patient into the rubric form. Many of times we are not able to interpret the patient’s symptoms with the rubrics. If the conversion of symptoms or interpretation of patient symptoms may go wrong, the remedy selection and prescription will be incorrect. Through this article try to explain different rubrics of mind with comparison of medicines(High grade) given within the rubrics. The explanation of medicines collected from different source book of Materia medica.
