As-if symptoms in homeopathy. This repertory of as-if symptoms is unique, as the majority of the symptoms cannot be found in any index, including the extended repertories based on Kent, which are only partially available in English. After a thorough repertorization, it is sometimes not possible to find the appropriate remedy, as several options may seem suitable. However, by paying attention to the as-if sensation symptoms, the key to the simile and the healing of the patient can be reached much more quickly.
