Product Description
From Library Journal
With homeopathic remedies now commonly found in drugstores and even in supermarkets, there is a growing interest in this form of alternative medicine. Lockie and Geddes, coauthors of The Women's Guide to Homeopathy (LJ 12/93), have written one of the most physically attractive books on the subject. The photographs and illustrations of the remedies are stunning. What also sets this book apart from others on the subject is a "consititutional type questionnaire," which homeopaths use when they prescribe remedies. Also included is information on the history and philosophy of homeopathy, photographs of nearly 150 remedies arranged by their Latin names, and an explanation of how to treat common ailments. Recommended for its illustrations, even for libraries that have other books on this subject.?Natalie Kupferberg, Ferris State Univ., Big Rapids, Mich.

5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful, accurate and detailed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Homeopathy (Hardcover)
I am a physician who has very recently developed an interest in homeopathy, after my 15-year long migraine responded dramatically to homeopathic treatment. I have been looking for a book that will help me understand this wonderful and exceedingly intricate art and science. Dr. Lockie's book is by far the best for someone who is not a homeopathic practitioner, but does want accurate and detailed information on the subject. This book has helped me understand homeopathic philosophy. I have been able to accurately identify constitutional remedies for friends and family using this book. I have also made good use of the section on common complaints and remedies for acute prescribing. The layout, color photographs and pictures are breathtakingly beautiful. I have bought multiple copies for friends and family. This book will prove to be a welcome addition to anyone's library - be they practitioners, beginners or novices to the art!

Enlightening and accessible,
By "pspa" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Guide to Homeopathy (Hardcover)
Until this book homeopathy for me had always been a discipline that was very hard to understand and seemingly full of inconsistencies and indecipherable jargon. In this highly accessible volume, the authors demystify the concepts and make them very easy to understand, and also provide very useful information about the history of homeopathy and its applications to various conditions. Very attractive volume from a physical layout point of view as well. If like me you were interested in becoming more familiar with this subject, this seems like as good a place as any to start.

By Susan Pike (Duncan, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Homeopathy: The Principles and Practice of Treatment With a Comprehensive Range of Self-Help Remedies for Common Ailments (Hardcover)
This book is the best homeopathic book I've found. It has an excellent layout of information; it provides cross-refencing; it is very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book for people who like to use homeopathy.
