Homeopathy for Women: A Comprehensive, Easy-to-Use Guide for Women of All Ages (Paperback)

~ Dr. Barry Rose (Author), Dr. Christina Scott-Moncrieff (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This beautifully produced British import neither is as format driven as similar health books nor does it contain odd or confusing Briticisms. The authors are medical doctors and trained practitioners of homeopathy. Their surprisingly concise, two-page introductory section defines homeopathy and gives its history, its proposed mechanism of action, preparation of remedies, how to use the book, and how to take the remedies. Part 1 consists of 10 thematic chapters on the full range of women's health concerns (e.g., digestive system, pregnancy, and postpartum), with entries in each for up to 20 conditions or ailments. Introductory material for each chapter (and often for each ailment) is filled with suggestions for dietary or lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, cross-references, and cautions. Each entry includes a chart that guides the reader to individual remedy choices. Part 2 is a materia medica of 50 of the most common homeopathic single remedies, giving symptoms rather than diagnoses as indications. Photographs, anatomical illustrations, and screened charts, most in full color, and sidebars supplement the text. An exemplary reference to the topic.

Review

A well-written resource for those new to homeopathy ... The book is simple but not trivial, in-depth but not tiresome. -- Catalina Margulis, Woman Magazine, Spring 2000

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, very useful, January 27, 2009

By	Ginger Dog (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

I really liked the visual presentation of this book - there are lots of charts that explain remedies and it is easy to figure out which remedy to choose. The ailments are a bit limited and descriptions are a bit short, but overall it is useful in helping one to choose a direction for healing.
