The Complete Guide to Homeopathy reveals the key principles of homeopathy, including the way we are categorized into "constitutional" types according to our physical and emotional characteristics.

A profile of each remedy gives its historical background, medicinal uses, and its corresponding constitutional type.

Additional self-help treatments are recommended, and there is a quick-reference guide to homeopathic first aid.
