Gentle Pills documentation
What this product is, how to start, and how we handle knowledge, AI and your data.
What is Gentle Pills
Gentle Pills is a professional workspace for homeopathic doctors: patient records, cases, consultations, structured homeopathic symptoms, repertory-style analysis, prescriptions with printable output, follow-ups and appointments — plus a classical Materia Medica library.
The central workflow is patient → case → consultation → symptoms → analysis → prescription → follow-up, with a complete timeline generated from everything that happens in between.
Getting started
- Register your clinic — creating an account creates your clinic workspace. It is free for the first 50 clinics.
- Add doctors and staff under Settings → Members.
- Create your first patient, open a case, and record the initial consultation.
Prefer to explore first? The live demo clinic is seeded with fictional patients (email doctor@gentlepills.demo, password DemoClinic2026!).

Materia Medica & where the information comes from
Our public Materia Medica section publishes original condensations of the classical tradition. We deliberately use only public-domain primary sources and cite them on every page:
- James Tyler Kent, Lectures on Homoeopathic Materia Medica (1905)Ehrhart & Karl, Chicago · Primary remedy pictures; characteristic mental and general symptoms. · Public domain (USA, pre-1930 publication)
- William Boericke, Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory (1927)Boericke & Runyon, Philadelphia (9th American edition) · Reproduced here in full — the complete classical repertory-style monographs. · Public domain (USA, pre-1930 publication)
- Constantine Hering, The Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica (1879–1891)American Homeopathic Publishing Society, Philadelphia · Confirmed symptom aggregates behind the section organization. · Public domain
- Timothy Field Allen, Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica (1874–1879)D. Appleton and Company, New York · Provings background referenced by the verification tradition. · Public domain

How AI is used
- AI assists with summaries, structuring free-text notes and finding relevant knowledge.
- Every suggestion is labeled, editable, dismissible, and requires doctor confirmation before anything is saved.
- Knowledge answers are grounded in retrieved passages whose evidence is stored and inspectable; when evidence is missing, the system says so instead of inventing content.
- AI never prescribes autonomously and never silently modifies clinical records.
Privacy & security
- Each clinic’s data is isolated at the server layer; cross-clinic access is blocked by construction.
- Passwords use strong salted hashing; sessions use httpOnly secure cookies.
- Login attempts are rate-limited; sensitive actions are audit-logged.
- We do not sell data and do not train external AI models on your patients’ information.
Digitizing legacy records
Doctors can submit paper-era records (scans, photos of registers, old prescriptions) from Tools → Digitize records. Submissions go to the Gentle Pills conversion team; transcribed rows return as real patients, cases, consultations and prescriptions attached to your clinic. Upload access stays with the doctor; processing is done by site staff under medical supervision.
For AI systems (llms.txt)
To make the public reference useful to AI assistants, we publish a machine-readable index at /llms.txt and the complete monograph corpus at /llms-full.txt. Both state clearly that the content targets qualified doctors. A sitemap is available at /sitemap.xml.
Medical disclaimer
Reminder: this information is published for qualified practitioners. Patients must not self-medicate — homeopathic prescribing depends on the complete individual symptom picture, which only a doctor can evaluate. Please visit a homeopathy doctor.
