Homoeopathy for women
Review In her book, Homoeopathy for Women (the extra "o" is due to the British spelling), Rima Handley explains the theory of homeopathy and its method of diagnosis in a clear and simple way. She first addresses common female complaints, children's illnesses, and conditions of pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. For each condition she lists several applicable remedies and the characteristics of each remedy so that you can determine which best fits your needs. Also included is a Materia Medica, listing the 30 most common remedies along with a more detailed picture of the characteristics associated with each. An index of symptoms with their possible remedies is included so that you can read further in the Materia Medica to decide which remedy is needed.
