The Companion to Homeopathy

Book excerpt: 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, there are often mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks that can inhibit a patient's full recovery. Homeopathy treats the whole person, taking into account personal history, environmental factors, and any hereditary vulnerabilities to particular illnesses or conditions. Written by a highly-respected practitioner and lecturer, Colin Griffiths's Companion to Homeopathy offers a comprehensive homeopathic resource including answers to common questions, examples and case histories, and an examination of controversial issues, such as immunization, mind-altering drugs, and karma. The title also addresses many of the myths that have come to overshadow the true practice of and benefits from homeopathy.
