About this title

Review:

The healing power of homeopathy has become more and more evident as increasing numbers of people leave traditional medicine in search of alternative ways of healing. Developed more than 200 years ago by German physician Samuel Hahnemann, the principles behind homeopathy deal with treating the individiual as a whole--holistically--rather than concentrating merely on the symptoms produced.

Homeopathy: An Illustrated Guide is based around the Materia Medica--a compendium of the principal remedies used in homeopathy. In addition to an A-Z listing of the remedies included, the book also details how to use them, how to find and prepare remedies, and when it would be best to visit a professional practitioner. The Repertory Index at the back of the book lists symptoms and illnesses alphabetically, making it easy to dip into the book as needed. However, the lovely illustrations and photographs, fascinating information and extensive cross referencing between remedies throughout the book mean it is also a great read. Definitely one for the holistic healer's bookshelf. --Lucie Naylor
