In the Bönninghausen Polar Symptom Analysis, polar symptoms (opposite to the patient’s symptoms) are considered to increase the probability of certain remedies.This only works when symptoms are taken from the English and German versions of the Therapeutic Pocket Book (b2, b2ge.300) as these contain polar symptoms.When the user selects the patient’s symptoms (preferably in clipboard 1), RadarOpus automatically takes the corresponding opposite polar symptoms. The latter symptoms are displayed in a virtual clipboard, which is only visible when a polar symptom analysis is requested (in the analysis window: click on the black-white circle icon).The user selects symptoms that are either polar (= have an opposite symptom, like agg. and amel.) or non-polar (= no opposite, like burning). The Bönninghausen polar symptom analysis calculates a score (polarity difference), considering the positive polar symptoms (= the patient’s symptoms) minus the opposite polar symptoms (= opposite to what the patient has). The higher the polarity difference (in bold), the more likely the remedy.The virtual clipboard is automatically named “Opposite polar symptoms”. Clipboard 1 is named “Patient’s symptoms” except when the user has named the clipboard differently.An option to include or not to include the non-polar symptoms in the positive polar symptoms score. By default non-polar symptoms are not included.
