Product Description
This book will be a great addition to your homeopathic library. Once you've been using homeopathics for a while, and begin to work on a deeper level with them, you'll wonder which (for instance) liver remedy is really the one you need, when there are several which might be right. This book is the book that gives the particular spiritual/psychological picture of the remedies that will let you decide. With an unbelievable insight in some 300 homeopathic medicines Didier Grandgeorge gives us in a nutshell the essence (the spirit) of these remedies.

 Review of the Spirit of Homeopathic Medicine ( mandis56 )
I expected a different sort of book than this one turned out to be. It does have some useful information in it but most of the remedies are sketched very briefly and the interpretation is too Freudian for me. Also, most of the examples are about children, although the title does not tell you that.

 Fairy Tale Homeopathy
I am greatly disappointed by the way the writer of this book grossly oversimplifies homeopathy, and specifically, the quick, magic-like cures he reports in his "observations." He continuously gives examples of cases where symptoms "disappeared completely" after one dose of this or one dose of that.
The truth is, I am certainly one of the biggest proponents of homeopathy one could ever meet. I know how truly powerful and capable homeopathy is at treating and healing people (especially when using LM potencies). But this author, Didier Grandgeorge, is very irresponsible and misleading to write about homeopathic remedies the way he does.
Homeopathic cures are a bit of a process. The remedies are not magic potions that make one's symptoms just "disappear." They work on an energetic level to restore balance, hence, undesirable symptoms get changed, transformed, and also eliminated in the process, but this rarely happens (for non acute cases) via one dose. The author also fails to mention any of the beautiful psychological changes or occurrences of personal growth and expanded awareness that are not only a result of a cure, but ARE ESSENTIAL to a real and lasting cure.
On a more positive note, his oversimplified, quick "takes" on the remedies themselves (verses his paragraphs of case "observations") can be somewhat useful IF combined with the remedy pictures of other writers (lots of other writers!).

 Not extensive but very helpfull ( josmartinot )
This is a charming little book in which the constitutional remedies are described, mostly in a one page review. These reviews are short, but try to catch the ESSENCE of every remedy. The reviews do NOT include an extensive list of deseases for which this remedy would be helpfull. To me this book was very usefull because it shows you "what every remedy is about".

Superficial, not at all useful for classical homeopaths
I do NOT recommend this book to any serious student or practitioner of classical homeopathy.

 you will find" jewels" in this book which can be life saving ( bdmesq )
there are so many excellent homeopathic books [frans vermeulen,morrison etc etc]
grandgeorge stresses some issues [i would call them jewels]in this book,which can be life-saving.
i would recommend for example-any doctor [urologist] to try
asa foetida for mild to even severe ureter-reflux.
i have seen asa foetida being able to prevent intra-uterine operations,just after using a few doses.
quite a few children benefitted from it who would have by now been operated.
a uncredible useful clinical book [even if it is called the spirit oh homeopathic medicines]
was it only for this tip,then the book is worth buying.
