I was not impressed by this book. The author lost me on the first page. He begins by calling homeopathy an "oddball" medicine that can't be easily explained. I did not like his examples or comparisons and I did not agree with his views on using homeopathy. On that basis, I would not give it one star.

However, the majority of the book is basically a combined repertory and materia medica for about 60 remedies. There is some useful information there and some rubrics I had not seen before or maybe had just not noticed before.

If I had seen the book before buying it, I probably would not have done so because a good repertory and materia medica will do what this book does but I am sure it will come in handy at times.

Actually Reading "Practical Homeopathy" by joette calabrese and taking the class! but Goodreads doesn't have that in their data so using this as a placeholder.

Hea sissejuhatus ja ülevaade homöopaatiast. Patsiendina parim arusaamiseks, kuidas ravitsemise protsess käib ja kuidas ära tunda, kas minu ravitseja on tasemel.

This book seems to be really in-depth. It appears to be written for the aspiring homeopath. I like the comprehensive coverage of materials, but for a more organized approach I would suggest "The family guide to Homeopathy"

Borrowed this one from the library. Found it useful in finding remedies for my family. Will be purchasing this one for my library.
