The first step in reconnecting with my long lost inner witch is to start practicing homeopathy (for myself and any of my loved ones who want to give it a shot). “Homeopathy: Start Here” was the first step in my education.

This short book, written by a long-time classical practitioner, is split into two almost even sections.

The first half is a toe dip into homeopathy…a little bit about it’s history, theory, the creation of the remedies, and practice. It explained it very clearly and totally opened my eyes. I now understand it’s VERY different than herbal medicine! I definitely plan on digging deeper, particularly about constitutions.

The second half is the presentation of a bunch of case studies. While I found it fascinating to learn about all of the issues homeopathy can resolve, I would have appreciated much more info on each case, such as the constitution of the person, what remedies worked for that specific person, etc. Simply hearing that some unknown remedy worked on various cases wasn’t nearly enough and, in fact, I felt detracted from the book.

I’m excited to learn more about homeopathy AND to have such an effective and affordable way to take charge of my health. As an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), I’m deeply appreciative of remedies that won’t give me all of the mild to serious side effects that Western, and even herbal, medicine does.
