First published in 1932, “The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation” is a thorough introduction to homeopathy and astrology written by George Washington Carey and Inez Eudora Perry. Dr. Carey was born in 1845 and was an American medical doctor who wrote several books during the early twentieth-century on biochemistry, religion, astrology, physiology, and his mineral-based theory of the origin of human health and disease. In “The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation”, Dr. Carey and his co-author Perry explore the relationship between the basic biochemical cell salts, or homeopathic remedies, and the twelve sun signs, or zodiac signs. In Part 1, Dr. Carey takes the reader on an in-depth examination of each homeopathic remedy and how it relates to the body’s physiology. In Part 2, Perry explains the meaning and origin of each of the zodiac signs in both eastern and western religion, masonic texts, and their spiritual significance. The authors then detail how each of these homeopathic remedies interact in different ways in a body depending on the person’s sun sign and the current phase of the solar calendar. “The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation” remains an important and informative guide for all students of homeopathy and astrology. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Actually thoroughly enjoyed this book! Its written a bit repetitively & definitely have to pay attention to not miss details. It also utilizes a lot of medical terms but I enjoyed looking things up and making the connections necessary. I found it very insightful and I am knowledgeable in the subject to a degree already. Its a very interesting subject & very detailed. I recommend to anyone who enjoys history, medical science & zodiac/planetary themed stuff.
I was expecting more info on how Dr. Carey came to learn about the 12 cell salts and why he assigned each one specifically to its Zodiacal correspondence, but that really wasn’t discussed at all in this book.
I was really looking for a more practical understanding of this health system, but it was so overwhelmingly esoteric in nature that I wasn’t able to really walk away with a solid understanding of how or why these salts supposedly work at contributing to our health.
Maybe I’m too dense or simply went into this book with the wrong assumptions of what it’d be like but I think I’ll stick to the YT videos on this subject for now.
