The Homeopathic Treatment of Eczema
by Robin Logan FSHom

The author discusses techniques of case taking and analysis he has used to treat eczema and discusses details of treatment and the materia medica of several important remedies, bringing it all together through specific examples from 22 cured cases.

Logan begins by defining the condition by reference to its conventional treatment, since most patients will have taken this route first and are likely to be familiar with the terminology of their diagnosis and the pharmaceutical preparations they have received.

He then describes techniques of case taking that are particularly appropriate to eczema. This is followed by a full discussion of case analysis, including the relevance of particulars in the hierarchy of symptoms and the subject of one-sided cases, or cases with few other symptoms, with a view to helping the reader to increase his or her own understanding of the issues involved.

Further chapters cover all aspects of case management, among them suppression, aggravation, potency, repetition of the dose, adjunctive measures and commonsense advice.

Julian Winston from The Heritage of Homeopathic Literature writes:

"A useful book and a must have for the practitioner who is struggling with difficult skin cases."
