Spiritual Bioenergetics of Homoeopathic Materia Medica: v. 1

Homoeopathic medicine is currently undergoing a major revolution with respect to its materia medica, repertory and role within healthcare. It is one of the mainstream fields within complementary/alternative medicine, alongside herbalism, osteopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture/Chinese medicine. Many homoeopathic practitioners will have additional training in these other areas, as well as healing, counselling and the like. There is therefore a demand for an integrative approach to the materia medica. The remedies, old and new, require understanding within the context of other subjects. This is not only for continuing professional development, but provides a basis to more effective and good practice in assisting the patient. For the purposes of this book, the diagnostics of anthroposophical medicine, astrology, craniosacral therapy and oriental medicine have been integrated with the profiles of 151 remedies. If a practitioner were trained and skilled enough in these subjects then it is possible to weave a much more comprehensive profile of the biography, karma and state of health of the patient - and select the remedy based on vital energy. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of modern-day homoeopathy, discussed the role of the vital energy in the health of the individual. It behoves homoeopaths to now enter the vital energy deeply, to understand the laws of vibration at subtler levels. This book therefore integrates the keynotes of the mentals, generals and particulars of the 151 remedies with esoteric plant and animal sciences, alchemy of the minerals and elements, toxicological data, spiritual principles, anthroposophical medicine, astrological patterns, oriental medicine diagnostics and craniosacral therapy diagnostics. There are also glossaries of the basic principles of astrology, oriental medicine and craniosacral therapy, as well as a periodic table and taxonomy chart.There are caricature illustrations of 45 of the remedies, to provide a humorous depiction of the personality features of these constitutional remedies. The book is indexed with keywords and contains a bibliography.
