Complete Guide to Homeopathy (Hardcover)

~ (Author), Nicola Geddes (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

With homeopathic remedies now commonly found in drugstores and even in supermarkets, there is a growing interest in this form of alternative medicine. Lockie and Geddes, coauthors of The Women's Guide to Homeopathy (LJ 12/93), have written one of the most physically attractive books on the subject. The photographs and illustrations of the remedies are stunning. What also sets this book apart from others on the subject is a "consititutional type questionnaire," which homeopaths use when they prescribe remedies. Also included is information on the history and philosophy of homeopathy, photographs of nearly 150 remedies arranged by their Latin names, and an explanation of how to treat common ailments. Recommended for its illustrations, even for libraries that have other books on this subject.?Natalie Kupferberg, Ferris State Univ., Big Rapids, Mich.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely perfect introduction to Homeopathy!, July 2, 1999

By	M. Chishty, Ph.D. ([e-mail]) (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews

This is the best book on Homeopathy I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a few!). The design, layout, photos, graphics, charts, and text are amazingly well done, and perfect for anyone just getting started in Homeopathy. Everything important is cross referenced, and anyone can use the book to self-prescribe homeopathic remedies for minor illnesses. The book is a joy to read, and I have read some of the sections many times already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and complete, July 11, 2000

By	seeker "tink-im" (cincinnati, ohio United States) - See all my reviews

I use this book quiet a bit, aside from being absolutly beautifully done, with great charts and easy to reference orginization, it also has a very good test in it to determine your constitutional tyype. This is an often overlooked part of homeopathy but a very important part. Constitutionl typing gives you a better starting point for treating the whole person, raising your energy and helping you become more true to yourself. I highly recommend this book for anyone taking homeopathy on thier own. Thanks :-)
