With the current rise in demand for homoeopathic dispensing and over-the-counter products, the community pharmacist is often called to advise on and practise homoeopathic pharmacy. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject. After outlining the historical and theoretical basis of homoeopathy, Steven Kayne takes a detailed look at the preparation and supply of remedies - those which are requested both with and without a prescription. The author then explains and clarifies the principles involved in the use of remedies, and the levels of treatment possible, before giving a practical guide to the applications of homoeopathy in specific situations eg. first aid, allergies. Pertinent issues in research and education are also covered before the final reference section which covers 50 common remedies and their uses, and 12 common conditions and appropriate remedies. Features: * the first book of its kind for pharmacists as well as practising homoeopaths * written by an author who is an authority on the subject * essential reading for any healthcare professional interested in, or practising, homoeopathy * first book of its kind to cover research and theory as well as practical aspects of homoeopathic pharmacy
