Book Description

July 8, 2006
Effective, safe, affordable, and free of chemical side effects-the benefits of homeopathy are endless! Already established in the national health care systems of England, France, and the Netherlands, homeopathic treatments are used by over 500 million people worldwide. Alan Schmukler's Homeopathy discusses the history and science of this alternative medicine and provides a comprehensive list of proven remedies-safe for people and animals.

Packed with homeopathic treatments for arthritis, colds, food poisoning, insomnia, Lyme disease, morning sickness, wounds, and a host of other ailments and injuries, this handy reference guide also includes information on homeopathic immunization and first aid. Schmukler gives helpful instructions for matching remedies with symptoms, ingesting them correctly, making remedies at home, and stretching your supply.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Though the idea behind his guide to homeopathic medical treatment is worthwhile, its execution is lacking. Schmukler, the founder of the Homeopathic Study Group of Metropolitan Philadelphia and a 14-year homeopathic practitioner, begins with a breezy history and thumbnail sketch of how homeopathy works before delving into which cures to use for which ailments. And while the ailments are easy to search through (they're listed alphabetically), Schmukler's remedies read like riddles sent via telegram. (On using Belladonna to treat a cold: "They are worse from light, noise or being jarred. They may be thirsty or not"; on using Pyrogenum to remedy Typhoid fever: "Bed feels too hard. Restless. High pulse with low temperature or the reverse. Foul diarrhea. Better from motion.") Readers well-acquainted with homeopathy may find the book helpful, but the book's intended audience-those unfamiliar with the practice-will likely be lost.

Format:Paperback
I found this to be an excellent resource for basic homeopathy. It is written clearly, and is full of information, however, very easy to read. I read it in a weekend, and figured out some very beneficial remedies for myself. It includes a reference by illness, as well as a guide to some of the more common remedies. It covers common problems, as well as life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Also includes sections on newer, exotic and as-yet-undiscovered illnesses (such as antibiotic-resistant strains, anthrax, influenza, etc), as well as sections on simple way to make your own remedies. The history and success rate of homeopathy are very impressive... Homeopathy is also fast acting, and very inexpensive (averages around 8 cents per dose). I never knew the AMA was formed by physicians in reaction to the high success rates and low cost of homeopathy... not surprised. Anyway, I think it's an excellent book. If I were to buy one book about homeopathy, this would be a very sound choice.

Great Homeopathic Book! February 8, 2007
Format:Paperback
I have purchased many herbal and homeopathic books, but this one is my new favorite. It's very easy to understand. The author explains how to choose the right remedy and gives real-life situations which is great for moms like me who's kids are constantly bumping or scraping themselves! Thank you Mr. Schmukler! You've made my job as a mom a lot easier! Arnica is a wonderful thing to know about with little ones!
