Summary

Homeopathy--helping the body to heal itself--is an extraordinarily powerful and increasingly popular health care system. While orthodox medicine focuses on the physical body, homeopathy treats the whole person, taking into account personal history, environmental factors, and any hereditary vulnerabilities to particular illnesses or conditions. Written by highly-respected practitioner and lecturer Colin Griffith, this comprehensive guide to homeopathy is a superbly informative resource, with answers to common questions, examples and case histories, and an examination of controversial issues, such as immunization, mind-altering drugs, and karma. Griffith also addresses many of the myths that have come to overshadow the true practice of, and benefits from, homeopathy.
