Is your significant other significantly bloated? Do you need dynamite to get your heirs out of bed in the morning? Homeopathy may be a kinder and gentler alternative to pointing and laughing or getting an attack dog to scare the kids out of the sack. Based on ancient principles, homeopathy considers symptoms to be part of one's own system that have become active or visible, instead of treating random symptoms in hopes of affecting a cure. Author and teacher McCabe examines elements of homeopathy accessible to lay people, including taking objective case studies and making a diagnosis, applying common acute remedies, and considering steps to take until one can receive professional care. He includes a book list, source guide, and an essay on the teachings of nineteenth-century homeopathic savant John Scudder.
