The first part of this Handbook answers the most frequently asked questions about homoeopathic treatment.

The second part is divided into 27 sections, each covering a different aspect of health. These chapters cover a wide range of topics, starting with Accident and Emergency, and then suggested remedial action for problems with every aspect of corporal and emotional health, with back-up suggestions and referral to other therapies where necessary.
