Homeopathic Medicine At Home: Natural Remedies for Everyday Ailments and Minor Injuries

I have been using Homeopathy for over 12 years for my entire family and have over 30 books on the topic. This book and "The peoples Repertory" by Luc De Schepper are my two favorite for common ailments. Mine is so well loved I had to ductape it, in order to keep it together. What I absolutely love is the simple tables at the end of each section that make it so easy to tally up your symptoms and which remedy suits you best. I have put tabs on each table to make it easy to pull up the right table right away when I need it. it covers injuries, insect bites, colds, coughs, headaches, teething, stomach upsets and so much more. The tables also include a "better from" and "worse from: section that also makes it easy to start feeling better right away. If it says better from dark room, I close the blinds. Better from cold food helps me stop pushing hot soup and instead give my kid a fruit salad with cottage cheese. If you only have 2 homeopathy books on your shelf, it should be this one and the "the peoples repertory".

This is a great introduction to homeopathy. I was my first exposure to this form of treatment. The author is clear and informative. Best of all, I have had so much success following the guidelines.

I purchased the used version and it is in very good, new looking shape. I arrived on time and I am enjoying it. Thank you

This is a very good basic book to have on hand. It has 11 chapters with titles such as: What is homeopathy?How to prevent and treat colds,coughs and earaches.What homeopathy can do for women.Most chapters have charts that help narrow down which remedy would be the best selection for a paticular condition. (For example, there are several remedies that can help when you have a cold, however since the symptoms of a cold can vary, the chart can help you narrow down which remedy will be the most helpful based on your current symptoms.)The back has an Appendix that has 4 sections titled:Remedies and their abreviations.Mini-repertoryMateria MedicaPharmacies carrying homeopathic medicines.There are 287 pages, including the index, so even though this is a great basic book, it has a lot of information. I find that because of the way the book is arranged, it's very easy to find things quickly.

Wonderful book full of great information. Used so often over the years the pages started falling out so we bought another copy.

I have been studying homeopathy for 30 years & when I do not have time to fully repertorize an illness (which is almost NEVER these busy days) this book is my first resource. It seems to cover most acute illnesses & is especially good for treating colds, flu, stings, gas, teething problems, sore throats, etc....I would like to see a better cross-referenced Index, but the numerous charts supplied somewhat make up for this short-coming - making it pretty easy to locate the problem/illness without too much difficulty. It also contains a nice little Materia Medica in the back -- so if you can't decide between several remedies this will help narrow the choice as it gives the specifics for the remedy as opposed to the main part of the book which gives the recommended remedies for the illiness.I often back it up withEverybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines by by Dana Ullman - but if I had to choose only one book to purchase I would go with the book I am reviewing.Another small short-coming of the book is it doesn't cover CELL SALTS as completely as needed (although, to be fair, no "quick-guide" homeopathic book does - with any depth anyway). which is why I would recommend the companion book by Dr. Skye Weintraub: Natural Healing with Cell Salts . Personally, I have found cell salts to work extremely well in conjunction with homeopathic remedies. Even though I practice the principals of classical homeopathy (ONE remedy at a time - changing the remedy until you find the one that works, & change remedies as soon as symptoms change &/or the current remedy no longer works) I still like to combine a homeopathic remedy with a cell salt. (A good example here would be a fever with a flushed face: homeopathic remedy might be Belladonna, and add the cell salt - Ferr Phos.)Over-all I couldn't give the book 5 stars due to the inadequate Index and less-than-stellar coverage of CELL SALTS, but for my money, this is still a best-bet!If you are new to homeopathy I can not encourage you enough to pursue this wonderful means of natural healing! And if you are a Christian, I urge you NOT to get hung up on the aspect of energetic healing until you learn more about the principals. I am a Christian who have seen ignorant fellow-Christians shrink at the idea of homeopathics as if they were some kind of voodoo. This is simply a fear-driven response that hopefully will be re-evaluated.Anyone interested in pursuing the principals of healing through homeopathic medicine, more in-depth, would do well to purchase the book "The Science of Homeopathy" by George Vithoulkas and also get a Materia Medica by Boerricke and a "Repertory" by J. T. Kent. You could also call your local naturopath & ask if they offer classes. Anyone can learn homeopathy. I began when my children were born and they never had to take antibiotics more than once throughout their entire childhoods. They are now all adults who practice homeopathy with their own families, and this is the first homeopathic book I gave them as a gift when they moved into their new homes (along with a basic supply of remedies). Good luck, and God bless.

Great resource to add to my bookshelf. Bought it a few months ago and have used it a few times. I added some tabs and labeled the sections for quick reference. I love the tables in it as they are easy to read and navigate too! Lots of good info covering 90% of everyday illnesses/injuries/etc.I’m a beginner to homeopathy and find it easy to read and understand. It’s not over my head, but goes into enough detail I feel confident in my use of various remedies.

I am able to find answers for use of my Homeopathic meds. Though I have help with a friend who has been learning this for a long while, I can research by myself and then can discuss with her better having studied myself and the can ask questions and know what works for me. Being educated in what you put in your body is important.
