BK1697 - Inspiring Homeopathy - Dr. Tinus Smits - £31.00
This account of using homoepathic remedies such as Saccharum Off, Carcinosin, Lac Maternum , Vernix, & others to assist in freeing patients from dysfunctional life patterns, will inspire you, like its title, to support them & understand their process of healing. Tinus Smits has developed and uses a specific methodology incorporating a model of 7 potential layers of trauma - any or all of which may give rise to specific deep-rooted difficulties. Lack of proper incarnation , for example, (Lac Maternum), is increasingly seen in practice, with today's prevalence of dreamy ADD or aggressive ADHD children. Each Layer is described in depth - with a number of very interesting cases - and each layer is linked to a remedy or remedies. The process of different layers and possible sequences between them is examined, along with the author's preferred use of potencies. He also details his very interesting new combination remedy, Carcinosin cum Cuprum. This new, very well clinically researched methodology, will expand your homoeopathic prescribing horizons - and, most probably, your practice with it! Very well recommended.

Gorgeous book - like its subject - examining both butterflies and moths (13 species) in terms of common and individual themes based on provings and clinical experience - each butterfly or moth being illustrated with a case and beautiful colour photograph - giving a good idea of the doctrine of signatures of each. All the cases presented relate to children and the themes of abandonment by a parent, agitation/ amusement/ ADHD (the butterfly mind); the double face - which may manifest in dreams as the mask (metamorphosis); Strongly colourful (like the butterfly itself); and a constant sense of imminent danger (being quite low on the food chain!). Lovely, inspirational work.

BK1747 - Sea Remedies - J. Evans - £60.00
This is a Materia Medica with a difference, drawing its poetic resonance from Baudelaire and others. Beautifully written and stunningly illustrated, it "Is intended to delight the senses and inspire the imagination, connecting you to the wonder of sea life visually as well as through the written word". The evolution of the 5 senses is reflected in the evolution of creatures within the sea - where synaesthesia, (a crossover of the senses, where colour, for example, may be experienced as sound), is common. The author examines through the lens of each of the senses the many different ways in which individual sea remedies express or experience vision, taste, etc. For example, visually, Pearl finds herself focussing on people's eyes, has a feeling of being stared at, and dreams of "Big eyes staring at me".
A complete Materia Medica is included, laid out according to species, and there is a thematic repertory at the back.
This is a book to ravish all 5 of your senses and, as a user-friendly desk reference, will enable you to perceive your patient's remedy through the vivid language of his/her own expressive senses.

 

BK1783 - Bach Flower Remedies - the essence within - J. Barnard - £14.99
Beautiful, poetic evocation in words and colour photographs of the doctrine of signatures at the heart of the 38 Bach Flower essences. The solid endurance of Oak, for example, (massy branches capable of sustaining innumerable creatures), is contrasted with the upward swirling bark and explosive white flowers of the Sweet Chestnut whose keynote ability is to to lift one from the depths of despair into renewed light and optimism.
Use this book to enhance your sensitivity to and awareness of the Bach flowers via the medium of the beautiful colour and language portraits of each - or maybe as a tool for dowsing. Follow Dr. Bach throughout his personal voyage of discovery - starting with Impatiens on the river Usk in southern Wales - culminating in Sweet Chestnut.
Acquire the knowledge of how to pick and prepare flower essences ( maybe intuitively find your own ) using the tried and tested methods of Bach. This book is an absolute gem and would make a perfect gift!

These lively, modern homoeopaths explore and extend the concepts of miasms and nosodes as initially expressed by Hahnemann and subsequently redefined by others, especially Sankaran.
