Homeopathy The Modern Prescriber

From the Book

This is a very practical approach to using homeopathic remedies.

It gives step-by-step instructions for many first aid situations from dog bites and wasp stings to tooth abscesses, sunstroke, burns and injuries of all kinds.

It explains how to treat everyday coughs, colds, fevers and flu, and gives advice on cures for food poisoning and even hangovers!

It also addresses a number of topical and controversial issues such as vaccination, malaria prevention and the risks of DVT when flying-and suggests homeopathic alternatives.

A responsible and helpful guide to homeopathic remedies - when they are appropriate - and when they are not!
