The HFA Workbook

The HFA Workbook is the ultimate guide to homeopathic facial analysis by Louise Bentley. All new with the latest info on how to do HFA. The first chapter covers the twenty-two years of clinical experience and research by Grant and Louise on how the face expresses the internal dominant miasm. Their HFA journey began with this question by Grant: " If Hahnemann thought the miasm was so important, how can I use the concept more effectively in my practice?" The evolution of HFA continued with the search for the real truth about miasms because Samuel Hahnemann advocoted for using the miasm in chronic prescribing. Hahnemann understood that the totality of symptoms was only half of the equation, and why symptom totality, plus the miasm, will produce the best results. The focus of this book is on the more practical side of HFA - the "nuts and bolts" of how you can learn HFA and use it in your clinic - whether you are new to HFA or an experienced HFA practitioner. It is chock full of the finer details in evaluating the face so you can hone your skills and master HFA quickly. Louise shares all new drawings of features and many more tips on rating each feature. There are new feature additions and changes from the original HFA book (2006) on rating and miasm allocation. Some examples: crossbite, misplaced eyeteeth, eye focus, deep-set eyes, outward bridge, lines above lips, crossed lower front teeth and gums in lower jaw. The complete HFA process is well-laid out in the book, as Louise walks you through it step-by-step, beginning with how to explain HFA to your client and why photos are necessary. You learn how to take the best photos with your cellphone camera, how to analyze and rate each feature, and then tally the results to determine the facial miasm. HFA is a complete system and uses a unique process that makes it simpler and faster to use than what most of us have been taught in classical homeopathy. Four case examples demonstrate this process - case-taking, case analysis, repertorisation, remedy selection, follow-ups - to show why choosing an HFA remedy that matches the facial miasm gives the best outcome for your client. For your reference, HFA polychrest remedies and their dominant miasm are included in the last chapter. My HFA journey began in 2007. I was intrigued by facial analysis and how simple the HFA system was compared to other methods. The HFA courses and first-hand guidance by Grant and Louise, gave me the skills and confidence I lacked. HFA has served me well in my years of clinical practice, and I sincerely hope you too will find it a valuable diagnostic tool in your clinic!

Louise Bentley's book does a fantastic job of highlighting the HFA (Homeopathic Facial Analysis) method. The HFA method is extremely helpful in narrowing down the remedy needed for a case and is easy to learn. If you are at all interested in the HFA method and improving your homeopathic skills, this book is a must have!

Some HFA case example models to reinforce the principles and prqactice of HFA. Just a shame the print is not darker considering the print is so small but if you're keen, you'll put up with it as I have.
