If you are interested in learning about homeopathy, this is a must-have book. The format of the book is excellent, with the layout of a reference book, but balanced with illustrations to help further educate the reader. It contains lots of interesting facts, such as the history and use of homeopathy, and even a section on what to expect when visiting a practitioner. I like how everything is written in plain english; one doesn't need to have a medical degree to learn from the text.

I love this reference! It is clearly organized, visually laid out, and concise. It is simple enough for a beginner to self treat from, and compares remedies for clarification of symptoms.

There is a part about case histories, and about diagnosing, also overview of what homeopathy is/does.

It's also nice - to me - that it is large. It's easy to find! It's about 8x11 inches maybe a bit more, yet thin, maybe 2/5 of an inch.

It covers quite a few remedies, and has a further reading list in the back.

Nice pictures and gives a very general view of remedies and some on constitutions, but not a book to learn about the use of remedies.

Better with some book for Homeopathic first aid where it is way more useful and practical.

This book is good as a general information reference, but sometimes the information given is not completely accurate. I understand that in such an unusual subject, there will be debate as to which set of information is accurate, but a few things are simply wrong. I don't feel it necessary to point out what I find is wrong; anyone who understands homeopathy or medicinal plants will spot them, and beginners need not worry about these sorts of errors, as they will only be seeking a general idea of the subject. Please, always back up information with other books of similar subjects, don't just take any one book's word for being correct.
