Written as an introduction to classical homeopathy, French husband and wife team, Mireille and Philippe Peyronnet are together qualified in the fields of pharmacy, neuroscience and general medicine, alongside homeopathy. They are therefore well equipped to lead you through a journey of anticipating and receiving treatment from a classical homeopath.

This is a essentially a handbook for the homeopathic patient - full of guidelines and practical fact sheets for making the most of a (first) homeopathic consultation. The text is divided into three sections: before, during and after. 'Before the consultation ' introduces the notion of homeopathic constitution to the patient as well as that of the simillimum. 'During the consultation' explains the exchange between practitioner and patient as a dynamic moment of connection - a 'singular living process' and focuses on the state of mind with which to best approach the consultation. 'After consultation' explores how homeopaths follow up their initial treatment and prescription, and explains how vital it is to keep notes recording experience and changes that occur after taking a remedy.

The text is illustrated with plenty of really interesting cases in an effort to substantiate the development of a homeopathic pedagogy which can prove the benefits of a single homeopathic remedy to an individual's healing and personal development.

This is an unique book - the only one in our catalogue to date that specifically addresses the situation and needs of the patient as they approach their first, and subsequent, homeopathic consultation.
