I bought this book having completed a basic homeopathy course. I was hoping that this would be the only book I needed to buy. Unfortunately I am a bit disappointed by it and end up referring to my notes from the course rather than looking in the book. It is nicely illustrated and good for looking at the varying remedies - but if you are looking for a remedy for an illness, I don't find it that useful or easy to use.

I found this book quite difficult to use as the materia medica is organised by the origin of the remedy (animal, plant or mineral) rather than just alphabetically. As a beginner I couldn't tell by the name of the remedy whether it was plant or mineral so this wasn't particularly useful for me. There is also a guide at the back for treating various ailments but I couldn't find any descriptions which matched my symptoms, it was too vague. If you are not new to homeopathy then this book works well as a reference guide. The descriptions of each remedy is very clear and detailed.
The most popular remedies get a whole page but minor remedies get one or two paragraphs. There are colour photographs throughout and the history section is interesting. It can't really be used as a complete guide to homoeopathy but is useful for cross referencing with other books.

I found this book to be clear, concise, well laid out, easy to read. A great book for beginners and professionals alike. I love it!
