Interactive Periodic Table of Elements (Remedy Families)

Similia includes two interactive tables from Jan Scholten's work for homeopathic study, grouped in the app under Scholten Tables:

• the Periodic Table of mineral remedies, arranged by series and stage
• the Plants Table of plant families, arranged by phylum, class, phase and subphase

Both tables show Scholten's own chapters where the catalogue has one, and link the related remedies into the Materia Medica.

Availability: Both Scholten tables are Pro features. Without Pro, selecting Scholten Tables shows an upgrade prompt, and opening a link to either table returns you to the home screen.

How to open the tables

1. Open Tools in the top navigation and select Scholten Tables. On a narrower screen, Tools is inside More. On a phone, open the menu (☰) and select Scholten Tables under Tools. You can also select the Tools card on the home dashboard and then Scholten Tables.
2. The Periodic Table opens first. Use the Periodic Table and Plants Table buttons at the top of the page to switch between the two tables.

Periodic Table

What you can do

• Browse elements in Scholten's layout. The seven series run in rows, from the Hydrogen series to the Uranium series, and the 18 stages run in columns. The Lanthanides have their own row within the Gold series. Only elements that have a Scholten series and stage appear in the table.
• Open an element to see its series and stage, Jan Scholten's chapter on the element from Qjure in the original English (with a link to the full chapter that starts Jan Scholten · Qjure), and Related Remedies, with links into the Materia Medica.
• Read series and stage chapters. Scholten's chapters on the series and the stage appear in two panels in the empty upper area of the table.
• Highlight a group. Select a series button above the table, or a series name at the start of its row, to highlight that series and read its chapter. Select a stage number along the top to do the same for a stage. Lanthanides highlights that subgroup, and All Series clears the filter.

How to use it

1. Select an element. Its panel opens beside the table, or above it on a narrow screen.
2. Scroll inside a panel to read longer chapters.
3. Open the link that starts Jan Scholten · Qjure to read the full chapter in the Materia Medica, or select a remedy under Related Remedies. Hover over a remedy abbreviation to see its full name.
4. Select a nearby element to compare its position and chapters.

Related Remedies lists only remedies that have a chapter in a book your account can open, and the count matches those links. Each link opens the remedy in the first available book in your author priority order (Settings → Materia medica → Author priority).

Plants Table

Select Plants Table at the top of the page. It follows Jan Scholten's plant code through three linked tables:

1. Kingdom table: phyla run down the side and the seven series run across the top. Each cell names the class at that position, with its Scholten code and its number of families and remedies. Select a class to open it.
2. Class table: the class's subclasses run down the side and the phases run across the top, with the order at each position in its cell. Select a subclass row, or an order cell, to open the subclass grid.
3. Subclass grid: phases run down the side and subphases run across the top, with the families in the cells.

Then:

• Select a family to see its classification, its Scholten chapter and, below the grid, its Remedies by stage. Remedies link into the Materia Medica. A remedy with a dashed border has no chapter in a book your account can open. A class, order or family tile with a dashed border is different: it has no remedy placed there in Scholten's catalogue, and it does not depend on your plan.
• Read a chapter. Select a phylum, class, subclass, order, series, phase, subphase or stage heading, or About the plant theory, to read that chapter from Jan Scholten's Qjure or Wonderful Plants in the original English.
• Go back up with All classes, which returns to the kingdom table. From the subclass grid, select the class in the breadcrumb at the top to return to the class table.
• Return or share a view. The address bar keeps your position and search. The browser's Back button brings you back to the same view after you open a remedy, and a copied link opens the same view for anyone signed in with Pro.

Searching the tables

Each table has its own search box at the top of the page.

• Periodic Table: an element is highlighted when the search term appears in its name, symbol, atomic number, series name, chapter or related remedies (including any related remedies not listed under Related Remedies for your account). It is also highlighted when the term appears in its series or stage chapter, or, for lanthanides, in the Lanthanides chapter. The number of matching elements appears beside the search box.
• Plants Table: a family is highlighted only when the term appears in its own name, its remedies or its own chapter, and the count shows the matching families. A class, subclass or order cell lights up when it, or something inside it, matches. Once a class is open, a Search term appears in: line names the higher headings (phylum, class, subclass or order) whose name or chapter contains the term. It appears beside the count, and in the panel of an open family or order when that entry's own chapter does not mention the term. Select a heading in the line to open its chapter.

In both tables, the open chapter highlights every occurrence of the search term and scrolls to the first one. If there is more than one occurrence, use the ‹ and › arrows beside the counter (for example "1 of 3") to step through them.

In the Periodic Table, select a highlighted element to see the term marked in its chapter and in its series and stage chapters. Selecting a series, Lanthanides, All Series, a stage number or an element that is not highlighted clears the search.

Good to know

• Scholten's chapters are shown in their original English, whatever your interface language.
• In the Plants Table, a family with no chapter of its own shows the chapter of the nearest group above it, such as its order, and the panel says so.
• The colours tell the series apart in the interface. They are a design choice, not a classification by Scholten.
• On a narrow screen, scroll within a table to reach other columns.

The Scholten tables are study and exploration tools. A position or grouping in a table does not by itself establish a remedy choice.
