Product Description
A comprehensive range of self-help remedies. Authoritative and accessible, this fully revised and updated consumer's guide to homeopathy explains all about how homeopathy works-and the best way to make it work for you. Complete Guide to Homeopathy reveals the key principles of homeopathy, including the system of categorizing people by "constitutional" types according to their physical and emotional traits. Other useful features include personal assessment, remedy profiles, and self-help guidelines. A carefully structured self-assessment questionnaire is based on what a homeopath would ask at a first consultation. It provides a unique insight into the link between health and personality, and helps you determine the constitutional type you resemble most. Based on the most advanced research, a photographic index profiles 150 remedies, with details of the historical background, medicinal uses, and corresponding constitutional type of each. Easy-to-use Practical Ailment Charts advise which remedies to take for everyday health problems, such as insomnia, anxiety, eczema, and toothache. It also features a quick-reference guide to homeopathic first aid. Accessible and information-packed, the Complete Guide to Homeopathy is the essential reference for improving health through this gentle approach to healing.

It helps you understand why your physician prescribes a treatment.

Nice book for beginners ( macdots )
I bought this book after a few futile efforts at understanding homeopathy from a Materia Medica. This is a nice illustrated book for beginners(it may be good for folks experienced in homeopathy, but I wouldn't know). It covers the history, fundamentals and the major and minor remedies in a clear and concise manner. It helped me understand the basics and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about homepathy.

Coffee Table Homeopathy with Bite ( rpettyus )
At first sight homeopathy appears to be absurd: it talks about a vital force; of like curing like and super-dilute remedies containing not one molecule of the original substance. All of these are enough to strain anyone's credulity. The trouble is that there is a small amount of empirical research indicating that it may actually work, as well as two centuries of clinical experience indicating that it is a good deal more than a placebo.
This is a very nice book: beautifully produced and with a surprising amount of detail. Many of the better known remedies are discussed and there are helpful photographs illustrating the physical appearance most often associated with particular medicines.
This is clearly intended to be an introduction to what can be a vast field of study. There are literally thousands of books on homeopathy and it takes years to master the topic. But it is possible to learn the basics from this book and to begin to use a few of the more common remedies. The other point is that the book will give you a very good idea of the kinds of questions asked by a homeopath. That in itself is valuable: people are often perturbed to be asked about the precise time of day when their symptoms occur, their favorite colors and whether they like or dislike certain foods.
If you have any interest in holistic heath care in general and homeopathy in particular this terrific place to start. The book is handsome, and though not comprehensive, it gives you enough to see if this therapy seems right for you.
Highly recommended.
