More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Homeopathy has never been so popular, with high-street shops and supermarkets stocking hundreds of different remedies and sales increasing by the bucket load. This huge, definitive, new encyclopedia is ideal for anyone who wants to discover more about this flourishing form of complementary medicine but doesn't know where to start. The author, Dr Andrew Lockie, explains that his aim is "to give a wide ranging and comprehensive account of homeopathy that is easy for anyone to understand." In this enormously detailed yet accessible book he certainly succeeds. Lockie begins with a comprehensive explanation of the key theories and methods of practice and then moves on to detail over 320 remedies, including information on each one's historical origins as well its healing properties and uses. An invaluable A-Zquick reference guide at the end of the book makes cross referencing similar remedies easy.
Lockie dedicates the second half of the encyclopedia to looking at common health problems. A section on serious illnesses such as MS and cancer includes case studies which give the reader an idea of how homeopathic practitioners might approach each particular disease. The chapter on practical self-help remedies for common ailments is useful for people of all ages. It covers everything from babies with colic and teenagers with glandular fever through to age-related problems such as memory loss. Anything and everything you've ever wanted to know about homeopathy can be found in this lively and meticulously researched guide. --Meg Slyfield

Homeopathy : An easy approach
9 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
How to understand history and development of homeopathy?
I was searching and no book convinces me, but when finally found this volume, I found the easiest way to understand and "feel" the homeopathic system. The book is divided basically in three sections: -Mineral remedies -Vegetal remedies -Symptoms and the appropriate homeopathic medicine.
It has a lot of illustrations and guides through the very special world of homeopathy, allowing to learn (the easy way) this fascinating matter!.

Format:Hardcover
This is an easy to use guide to homeopathic remedies, with lots of detailed information about the remedies and how they should be used. It also has a list of common ailments for adults and children with a guide to remedies to treat them, both with homeopathic remedies and home treatments - and when to stop trying to solve the problem yourself and head to the doctor!

excellent reference book
30 Jan 2009
Format:Hardcover
I found this book extremely helpful as a reference. Most homeopathic medicines work according to one's personality and no doctor can evaluate that in just few visits. This book helps to match the medicine best suited for you. It has good remedies for common health problems given at the end of the book.
