The Review:
The book “Boger’s Legacy & Augmenting the Synoptic key’s Repertory” by Dr. Anil Singhal M.D.(Hom) published by Axis Media & Publishing Company, India in 2023.
He has dedicated this book to his P.G. guide Prof. Dr. M.P. Arya, who has also shared his forward in this book.
This book has large acknowledgement by author and forward by Dr. M.P. Arya. Along with this the main content of the book is mentioned in 5 chapters.

As the name of the book shows, it has two gifts;
- Boger’s Legacy
- Augmentation of Synoptic Repertory.
The vital or decisive reflection of the work of this book, lies in the final chapter, “Augmenting the Synoptic key’s Repertory: Proposing New Additions”. Here, the author identifies and discusses deficiencies in the 6th edition of Synoptic Key (BSK-VI), proposes the inclusion of new remedies, and underscores the importance of ongoing clinical evaluation and professional validation. His endeavour in this chapter pays a true homage to Boger’s legacy, carrying forward his innovative spirit by suggesting improvements and updates to his seminal work. Because of this work and his beautiful collections of the vital works of C M Boger, which he has presented in this book are worth reading.
My personal suggestion regarding this book is, that, “it must be in the library of every homoeopath”. It is equally important for practitioner as well as academician. As Dr. Anil Singhal has initiated this work during his post-graduation study, so it is equally motivating for all post-graduate pursuing doctors to take the creative ideas for their dissertation and men them more enriched even after completing your academic task of university and colleges.
