This is one of the best books on homeopathy, written by a homeopath. I used many homeopathic remedies when I lived in Washington state and was seeing a naturopathic doctor. My health insurance at the time, Blue Cross, was conducting a pilot study on alternative health care and I was able to access all sorts of "non-traditional" health care. The ND I saw used homeopathy and I became very interested in the remedies and did a great deal of independent research. This book explains the history of homeopathy, the external/internal remedies, the diseases that can be treated, and prescriptive guidelines. This is very accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about homeopathy.

Absolutely brilliant. One of the best homeopathy books my family have found to date. A trusted reference book and homeopathy companion for home use which has seen much use by us for over 12 years.
The layout of the book is very good. The book is informative and goes deeper than many other homeopathy handbooks which helps immensely to find and decide upon a remedy.

I study Homeopathy, so of course this is a great book.

This book did exactly what it should do: it taught me a thorough and orthodox view of homeopathy and gave me the tools I needed to implement it.
Unfortunately, it turns out I had a completely wrong impression of what homeopathy actually is, and this isn't the book I was looking for! But, at least I am the more educated for reading it.

Very nice little materia medica. A few remedies I have not seen in my other small books and several rubrics I have not seen in my other books.

A very thorough introduction to the use of homeopathy. A good reference for any library. The format is sensible and easy to use.

Of all the homeopathy books, we come back to this one the most.

Great reference book for me when the kids get sick. Last winter Braden developed a high fever. I gave him a homeopathic remedy and it broke within 30 minutes. I use homeopathics in conjunction with modern medicine. It's nice to have both.

Someone send me a PDF of this book right now! I’m literally on the toilet shitting so much. I have food poisoning right now! (I’m being serious)

Bad moment: I was in the bathroom shitting while sitting down! I had to throw up, but I didn’t want to throw up all over the floor! I felt like I was done shitting. I tried to pull something straight out of the flash movie, but lo and behold when I got on my knees to throw up in the toilet I ended up shitting myself while on my knees throwing up!

6 hours later: It’s currently 10:15ish! I’m feeling much better cause my homies Kofi and Keyton helped give me stuff to help out with everything. I still feel like I have to shit, but not too much. The pain is still there but not as bad as before. My girlfriend is super amazing and just looking at her on FaceTime while laying in bed makes me feel better!

Thorough explanation of the discovery and origins of homeopathy. A great resource on home remedies for beginners and those new to homeopathy. Thanks to my friend Anna for introducing me to this book!

This book is a comprehensive guide for dealing with illness and diseases using homoeopathically methods, the writer is an experienced licensed homeopath with many books under her belt. I really enjoyed reading this book since I identified a lot of my grandmother’s homemade healing recipes.

Casto makes homeopathy simple and that's hard to do. Great resource for the lay practitioner.

"I believe (health) is a sense of well-being, of feeling good, of being in balance that is hard to dislodge. It is, above all, the ability to withstand stress."
