Absolutely Indispensable, November 3, 2006
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Remedy Relationships in Homeopathy (Complementary Medicine) (Hardcover)
I am a medical doctor and researcher and would like to congratulate the writer on this authoritative work of excellence - detailed, well researched, beautifully formatted and absolutely indispensable.
It not only lists remedy relations for 685 remedies (complements, follow-wells, collaterals, antidotes, durations etc) but also validates each piece of information with references!
I wonder how homeopaths the world over were doing without something as invaluable as this, since those who believe in, and work with 'disease layers' have to be aware of what follows well, what is inimical and which remedy to expect in succession.
Doubtless there were some books that dealt with this subject like the works of Gibson Miller, Sankaran, Chitkara and J. H. Clarke, but these were neither complete nor referenced. The Encyclopedia is a true classic and will stand every homeopath in good stead.
The author has painstakingly (it took him 16 years) put together advice and recommendations of Great Homeopaths of yore like Lippe, Nash, Farrington, Allen and Hahnemann himself, in a brilliantly systematic way. The work itself uses J. H. Clarke's Clinical Relationships as its basis.
If you want to get a taste of the wisdom of the Homeopathic Masters, gleaned from experience spanning two centuries, this book is a must-read!
Hats off to Prof. Abdur Rehman for his labor of love. As long as there are exceptionally gifted people like him with such an ardent love and regard for Homeopathy, there is hope for humanity.

One of my top 3 most used books, February 4, 2009
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Remedy Relationships in Homeopathy (Complementary Medicine) (Hardcover)
I own two copies of this book. One for at home, one for travel. I am never without it. It is an indispensable tool for the homeopath. Abdur Rehman has performed a great service to homeopaths and patients alike by compiling all this very very useful information, gleaned from the vital knowledge and experiences of some of the best minds in homeopathy.
The layout is eminently clear and easy to use with 685 remedies listed in alphabetical order and containing sub-headings on Miasms, Temperament, Laterality, Related Bowel Nosodes (if any), Remarks (on major known actions and interactions), Foods to be avoided, Foods to be encouraged, Complementary Remedies, Followed well by, Inimical, Antidotes, and Collaterals.
Each of the listed categories has sub-text relating to interactions and reactions in specific situations, with full references to which authors made such observations. There is a numbered bibliography of all said authors and their referenced publications at the end of the book.
There is also a very in-depth index, which cross-references all the symptoms, disorders, and variations thereof, mentioned throughout the book. A virtual Repertory in its own right.
The book itself is a very good quality hardcover, with a tight, solid binding. Both of mine have been used and abused endlessly over the past 5-6 years and are still holding strong.
This is not a cheap book in any sense of the word, but definitely worth every penny in every way. I recommend it very highly!

A great deal in homeopathy, November 25, 2010
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Remedy Relationships in Homeopathy (Complementary Medicine) (Hardcover)
Every homeopath should read and use this unvaluable book. It gives some light in remedy relationships, showing complementaries, antidotes, inimicals and "followed well by".
