With so much attention paid to maintaining optimal health these days, the distinguished list of “alternative”medicines now includes homeopathy. In The Complete Family Guide to Homeopathy, author Christopher Hammond tells us that “Homeopathy does not have treatments for diseases. It has remedies for people with diseases.” Different from the conventional, allopathic approach, homeopathy offers the opposite method of treatment. Natural substances trigger the symptoms of the disorder or disease; therefore, remedies “work at the level of energy and not of matter.”
The resource covers homeopathy’s fascinating history–it was developed at the end of the 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor–in the first section. Names and sources of homeopathic remedies follow. Section 3 offers remedy charts with instructions on how to observe the symptoms of a case, take notes, and choose a remedy, and what results and reactions to expect. An easy-to-read reference for first aid covers such accidents as bee stings, head injuries, and puncture wounds. Beautiful illustrations and photographs make this one of the more accessible and enjoyable guides to homeopathy. A glossary, bibliography, and list of institutions and suppliers complete the book.
