Family Guide to Homeopathy: Symptoms and Natural Solutions

This book claims to be the "Family Guide". However, this book advocates for women who have any unwanted pregnancies to have abortions, which is not very family friendly. In addition to this poor counsel, my family and I got sick shortly after the book arrived (I thought "what luck?!"). I looked for our symptoms in this book, and I was unable to find the necessary solutions. While this book has quite a few good qualities (like advice for when to call the doctor vs. when to go straight to the ER; and thorough solutions for several problems), the above mentioned issues are reason enough for me to say this was a waste of my money. I will begin my search again for a better, truly "Family Guide" to Homeopathy.

I received this book from a friend almost five years ago, and I continue to refer to it again and again. This is a wonderful reference for anyone interested in homeopathy, from the beginner looking for a proven alternative to allopathic medicine, to the more advanced homeopath who needs a good reference. This edition covers a myriad of ailments and gives clear, easy to understand explainations of the homeopathic remedies presented here. Highly recommended to those of you looking for a great homeopathic reference guide.

This book has a great index, so finding your concern is easy. The materia medica section in the back has complete descriptions of the 40+ basic homeopathic remedies, their physical and emotional and constitutional indications, as well as their complementary and inimical remedies. Only an encyclopedic reference would be more complete.

This book, along with the Balch & Balch (Prescription for Nutritional Healing) are my two bibles. I have worked in the field of natural medicine for years now: managing a web site on natural medicine, as an energy healer, and as a lay homeopath, and find this book the one I look to whenever I feel a situation will respond well to homeopathic treatment. The book explains the concept of how homeopathy works, gives a history of its use, explains the various dosages, includes a section on constitutional remedies, covers a huge variety of symptoms, and presents snapshots of the properties of some of the more common remedies.This book is an invaluable reference for anyone who wishes to use non-invasive methods to deal with common health problems. I've had results with homeopathic remedies that were practically miraculous! They are safe, inexpensive, easy to use even for small children, and quickly effective. This book will educate you in the proper use of homeopathy for the layperson, and give you insight as to when to consult a homeopath for more in-depth matters. Don't hesitate to buy this book, it's a keeper!

I've taken a two year course in Homeopathy and haven't found a more complete book that covers explanation of common/uncommon diseases in simple terms. A must have!!
