"A Little at a Time - Homeopathy for you and those you love" by Mary English is a brilliant book to spark an interest in Homeopathy. It is for anyone who has been a little curious and wants a deeper understanding of how it works and how to use it confidently at home. Mary English gives a brief background into the history and philosophy of Homeopathy and explains the reasons for the rather polarising views about it found in the media today. Her passion for this healing system is infectious and this shines through in her writing. The title may be "A little at a time" but I felt compelled to romp through it in one sitting.
The excellent section on First Aid clarifies what can and can't be treated at home and even how to use Homeopathy on your way to hospital for more serious injuries. She is no-nonsense about fevers, suspected meningitis and offers very valuable information about recognising the symptoms of a stroke.
She unravels the mysteries of why a Homeopathic remedy can treat a whole raft of seemingly unrelated conditions. Different remedies express illness in different ways and it is matter of finding the remedy that matches your headache or sore back. She emphasizes that people are not their illnesses and should not be labelled as such. Homeopathy treats the disease as a process the person is going through rather than being an asthmatic or a migraine sufferer.
The top ten remedies chapter is well worth keeping in your first aid box for ready access. English gives clear instructions on how to administer doses and when to stop dosing. This instills confidence in anyone wishing to try this at home.
Most importantly this book touches areas that are often neglected in an introductory book. There is a very helpful chapter on supporting women or a couple through an unplanned pregnancy. There is information to give the birth partner something useful to do while assisting women through labour. Her chapter on mental wellness is frank and offers some excellent tips on keeping everything in the mental sphere shipshape. She offers pointers on what you can try at home and when to seek professional help. Sleep disturbance, grief and anxiety are all addressed here.
Humour is not something you would expect from a book like this but I found myself having a good chuckle occasionally. English recommends a dose of Sulphur 30c to those of us with messy bedrooms in need of de-cluttering! I will give it a try....
Spiritual crises are not something that can be dealt with in your average GP visit but it fits comfortably into the realm of homeopathy and Mary explains why and how. Physical, mental and spiritual health allow the human to reach their greatest potential and with "A Little at a Time" this seems within the grasp of anyone willing to explore this healing system.
