Customer Reviews

An excellent reference book
I have been borrowing my friends copy whilst eagerly awaiting my own copy. The book is divided into section dealing with What is Homeopathy; Prevention is better than cure; First Aid; Ailments and Diseases; Nutritional Supplements and Special Diets. I have often been concerned that when reading other Homeopathy books the reader may feel over confident and that they no longer need to seek medical advice for anything! This book written, by a GP, gives clear indication that the lay person should not think that by following this book they can dispense with professionally trained help. Dr Lockie gives warnings when help should be sought. He also suggests that if possible one should consult a medically qualified homeopathic physician. If this is not possible one should then consult a qualified homoepath but under the continuing observation of ones GP. I believe that The Family Guide to Homeopathy by Andrew Lockie is an excellent reference book.

An excellent reference guide for any home.
the book is quite comprehensive and has an excellent way to find the correct remedy. you find the 4 or 5 closest remedies from the main entry of complaints then cross reference a section at the start of the book which lists secondary symptoms, postures, activities etc which alleviate or make the condition worse. it demistfies the process and is a foolproof way, i think, of finding the correct remedy and dose.

Excellent book. Recomended as a quick and safe reference.
I first used this book, when I discovered that I had an infection (abscess) on my hand that was infected and solen. I followed carefully the instructions in this book, and as if by miracle, I managed not to take antibiotics, which was the suggestion of all "classical" doctors I visited. Ever since I have tried it a few more times, having always the best results and very fast. I recomended it as a book that should be in every library as a first aid book.
