Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Written by a medical doctor and a well-known homeopath, who has authored several books on the subject, this revised and expanded edition is a good introduction to the theory and practice of homeopathy. Intended for the lay reader, the bulk of the book details self-treatment options for common ailments. The authors take great care advising patients when professional medical intervention is warranted. For most consumer collections.

We've only had this book for a few months and it's dog-eared already. Granted, since then, we've been overseas and back so we're a little predisposed to being stressed out and sick. Disclaimers aside, it's been a fairly comprehensive guide to combating colds and other problems -- even a first-degree burn. It has a very helpful section on casetaking and is well-organized. It's not exhaustive, but it serves its purpose well -- as a guide to situations which arise most often in the home. It tells you when to seek outside help and what to do yourself. It also gives suggestions to go along with the remedies (the use of ice, heat; when to make rest a priority) and explanations (what's the definition of a croupy cough). I'd say if you had to choose only two books on homeopathy for your library I'd recommend this and the Materia Medica.

This was the second book on homeopathy that I bought, and it quickly became the only book I use. I like its clear explanations, organization, and use of modalities in the descriptions. It's easy for me to ask myself questions and compare my responses with the descritptions in the book. It's been my guide for over 20 years, and during that time I haven't taken a drug for any reason!

I use this book all the time, because it is arranged by ailment and easy to access. There are also more in depth sections on the most common remedies. If I could just have one homeopathic book, this would be it.

not clear
Not as clear as I'd like to read as a layman in what herbs to use. And no discription on how to extract and make the remedies.

Textbookish
This wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a concise listing of homeopathic items and uses. This was over the top. TMI (to much information)

Don't be fooled.
Please be aware that "homeopathic" is not the same thing as naturopathic. Homeopathic "medicine" is based on the idea that you dilute a chemical until there is no chemical left,... Read more

You can say that this book is detailed in the same way that a book on unicorn anatomy might have lots of horn diagrams. Read more
