Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A London homeopath gives advice on home treatment of common ailments such as headaches, flu, and indigestion. She describes the history and principles of homeopathy, tells how to diagnose and prescribe as a professional would, and offers a descriptive materia medica and repertory of symptoms for both external and internal treatment. She also includes guidelines on which ailments can be safely treated at home and case histories. Castro's clear, well-organized manual is one of the most accessible general-audience references on the subject--less comprehensive than Andrew Lockie's Family Guide to Homeopathy ( LJ 7/91) but easier to use for the beginner. Recommended for public libraries.

Customer Reviews
The best homeopathic book I've read
I have read a few books on homeopathy and then when I got into it myself I bought a few of my own books. This one is by far the best book. I've worn it in with in a few weeks refering to it and reading just the basics on prescribing. I like the knowledge and the explantions she gives in the book and the work sheet on how to make the right choice on the remedy.
Definitly worth every penny
Handy for beginner homeopaths!
I have been seeing a professional homeopath, but he's not always available. This book allows me to prescribe for minor illness that my kids are experiencing at onset, sometimes nipping it in the bud. It has also given me insight into the homeopathic process and has greatly enhanced my communication with my homeopath. It is organised logically and written in plain english. A great starting point for those interested in homeopathy. There is also a matching remedy kit available from Miranda Castro which would be handy.
THE Guide for the Amateur Homeopath
I've raised two healthy children to adulthood using this book, which I found in my local Whole Foods in the early 90's. Because my husband had a wonderful homeopathic MD in France, I've looked in vain for a solid homeopathic practitioner in my area, only to find that Castro's book makes me more knowledgeable than all those I've tried. The indexing system, as well as the complete description of each remedy and all symptoms associated with it, creates a valuable guide to dealing with acute conditions of all sorts. I'd love to see a new edition reflecting recent research and including ALL the Boiron individual remedies; there are a few available in the health food stores that are not covered in this one.
