Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A London homeopath gives advice on home treatment of common ailments such as headaches, flu, and indigestion. She describes the history and principles of homeopathy, tells how to diagnose and prescribe as a professional would, and offers a descriptive materia medica and repertory of symptoms for both external and internal treatment. She also includes guidelines on which ailments can be safely treated at home and case histories. Castro's clear, well-organized manual is one of the most accessible general-audience references on the subject--less comprehensive than Andrew Lockie's Family Guide to Homeopathy ( LJ 7/91) but easier to use for the beginner. Recommended for public libraries.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
With three kids I need a book I can understand and find the information I am looking for as quick as possible. This book has a great index and it makes looking up remedies we need very easy. I don't have to read descriptions of 10 different ones to find what is needed.

Her writing style is easy to read and she really gives a lot of information here that I haven't seen elsewhere. Part One tells the history of homeopathy, guidelines for deciding what you should be able to treat yourself and teaches how to take a case history and how to prescribe. This includes dosages, information on how often to dose, how to assess the progress and effectiveness of the remedy and explains how there are antidotes to homeopathy and tells about them. Part Two goes through a series of remedies and information on each. She tells where each comes from and lists specific information you need to decide if it is right for you. First though, she talks about the different forms each remedy can come in be it liquid, ointment or the little tablets we see in the health food stores. In Part Three she really goes over when we can self treat and when we should see a licensed homeopath. There is a case-taking questionaire and symptom checklist. There are even sample cases where you can put to test and see what you learned.

I really enjoyed this book and have already purchased a second copy to loan out...

Format:Paperback
as an avid student and patient of homeopathy [18 years and counting] this is still my favorite lay manual of homeopathy. ms. castro provides clear physical, mental and emotional descriptions corresponding with each remedy in a tone and language which is both in-depth and intellegent. you will benefit from her insight into the origin of each remedy as well as the remedy's symptoms/"picture." my well-loved copy is literally falling apart.

Excellent! June 18, 2000
Format:Paperback
This is my 2nd Miranda Castro book (1st being Homeopathy for Mother and Child) she continues her common sense, practical approach in this book. Homeopathy has worked amazingly well in our family for everything so far - and each time I have referred to Ms. Castro's books; particularly good for my little boy from new-born to now 3½. For those looking for safe, non-drug alternatives this will be welcome help and support.
