How To Select & Take A Homeopathic Remedy
First of all get yourself a good book on homeopathy. There are MANY. I like this one as it's laid out in short, easy to read chapters, there are charts listing remedies, symptoms and tips to help pick the remedy for each situation.
Homeopathic Medicine at Home by Maesimund B. Panos, M.D. and Jane Heimlich is a great one that I use almost on a daily basis.
Without having a reliable, fast reference book, it will be hard to think straight in times of illness or when your child falls ill quickly. It's important to have a fast reference book so you can find remedies FAST when you need them most.
Selecting a remedy is a sometimes not an easy task. In homeopathy, it's all about making the remedy match the patient. It's THIS that makes it one of the most holistic of medicines on earth. You are taking into account the symptoms, how and at what time of day they present, the temperament and personality of the person! What is more holistic than that!?
