This would make an excellent home reference for anyone interested in homeopathy. I have learned a few things in another book which leads me to believe there is no one perfect reference as I had hoped to find, so I am downgrading this from 4⭐s to 3.5. I did not read all of this so am not counting it in my books "read", just putting it on "reference" shelf.
A very comprehensive book, to help this beginner with homeopathy! Although as a Registered Nurse I am very concerned that for treatment like epilepsy, gangrene, heart attack, stroke etc the reader is not told to seek urgent medical attention, but it does for snakebite! It does state it’s meant to help laypeople with a means to treat injuries and acute ailments. Each treatment description for this severity should include information about seeking urgent attention. But apart from that, it is an excellent resource. I would’ve liked a bit more information about each individual remedy. Great variety of conditions & suggestions. A good book for reference.
Where do I start... So many red flags. Mention of vaccines causing autism "infant retardation". Failure to mention besides the front page that many of the ailments are MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. Not much creditability besides "over 200 years of trail and error." BUT not really providing scientic evidence. I didn't expect much but there are some serious, serious false information that should be taken into note. Take everything with a grain of salt. Herbs can help, but anything such as a heart attack should be taken seriously and taken to the emergancy room.
Good homeopathic book. Not going to replace my go to book though. A few new symptoms noted and some new remedies that I wasn’t familiar with. Format is ok. Unfortunately didn’t find the symptoms/conditions I was searching for
