Homeopathy
Description
An A to Z home handbook on homeopathy, written by Alan Schmukler for the household rather than the clinic. It opens with the history of the practice and how its practitioners understand it to work, then moves into the reference material that makes up most of the book.
Entries are arranged so you can look something up quickly, with guidance on matching a remedy to what you are observing, how remedies are taken, how to make them at home and how to make a supply last. There are sections on first aid and on how homeopaths approach immunization, and the same reference covers animals as well as people.
Homeopathy is a complementary practice with a long history and a contested evidence base. This book describes what its practitioners do; it is not medical advice and it is not a substitute for seeing a doctor.
Why We Carry It
Alan Schmukler's A to Z is the reference copy. We stock it because people ask for a homeopathy book by name and this is the one that is organized well enough to actually look something up in.
Who It Is For
Readers already working with homeopathy who want a household reference. It is a book about a practice, not a substitute for your doctor.
