Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory

"I have had this for a number of years. It was the first homeopathic book I bought. My copy is slowly disintegrating from hard use and its weak Indian binding.
This is the best (and was the first) single-volume reference for beginning homeopaths and home practitioners. It includes both a repertory and materia medica, plus relationships of remedies and other reference material. More advanced prescribers will want something more extensive, but nothing beats this for compactness.
It does have its drawbacks: it uses turn-of-the-century medical language (get Yasgur's homeopathic dictionary), it does not include new remedies, and it is of limited depth.
By the way, it includes nothing about HOW TO USE IT, so get another book on prescribing (can't remember a good title)."

"This is a great book and indispensable for the lay and professional practitioner alike. Note that Amazon is selling the Indian edition. The American edition has better binding, clearer print, is not as thick and costs more--a forewarning to those of you who expect the Amer. version, which is most common in health stores. Nonetheless, a great reference."

"Great reference book. Not quite as complete as Kent's Repertory, but it does have a Materia Medica, which Kent's does not. One of the books I always refer to. Has interesting section of Indian remedies, not normally seen. Pretty good index."

"An excellent complete reference book. Materia Medica section lists symptoms by body part including respiratory, circulatory, mind and sleep descriptions. Corresponding Repretory is divided into physical sections, including genralities, and modalities. This is the first and foremost book I reach for when researching any case. Easy to use and well organized, unlike many of the other classic and contempoary manuals on homeopathy. This is my homeopathy bible!"

"It is a exellent book for the Physicians practising Homoeopathy. It gives wonderful guidelines about using the repertory to all people. I have used this book during my Homoeopathic eduation all through the five years, for Materia Medica and Repertory. I would highly recommend this book to those studying Homoeopathy and also to those are Practising .It has a very precise way of explaining the drugs, and also the relation of that drog to other drugs. At the end of every drug the author has given the doseage of that drug in which it would best acts,the remedies that are best followed after that and lastly also the antidotes to a few drugs."
