Editorial Reviews

Review

"The author must be congratulated on producing a well-written and clear paperback on common ailments. With its good lay-out and clear headings, it should be easier for anxious parents to find a symptom and the appropriate remedy. I think this is one of the clearest and most practical books on first aid and common ailments that I have come across and therefore warmly recommended."
(Sarah Byfield )

This review is from: The Family Homeopath: Safe, Natural, and Effective Health Care for You and Your Children (Paperback)

I live in Houston, where there are various health food stores in the city; there are few employees in the larger places that know all that they should/could to make useful recommendations. I've discovered that some employees try to make recommendations based only on a recommendation they received from a friend, or based only on their own "sampling" of a particular remedy (without trying others, for comparison). I first saw this book in one of those stores, and discovered the book was organized extraordinarily well for assisting in choosing homeopathic remedies. The clarity of the write-ups for the different aspects of various ailments helps to be more specific in selecting the right remedy. "PH" isn't extremely detailed; I combine this book with another to provide a significant amount of detail on the remedies themselves. Obviously, it also helps to have the dosing recommendations from the remedy manufacturer's brochures, too, but those aren't always available. I've been very happy with this book.
