5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for new remedies, March 3, 2008

By	A. Murray (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was my introduction to Colin Griffith's work. One of the challenges we face as homeopaths is keeping up with provings of new remedies. In this book Griffith presents concise materia medica on many and interesting new remedies. His approach is Vermeulen-like so if you're a fan of Vermeulen's work then you will enjoy this book.
He presents each remedy with the background information, including how the proving was done, then outlines the main keynotes, followed by the physicals and particulars. He also touches on other aspects like therapeutics and chakras (where the particular remedy may have an affinity). He makes many comparisons to other remedies that are informative and insightful and also demonstrates use of the remedies with case notes.
This book is a wonderful addition to my collection and an amazing resource for new remedies that is well written and presented.
