About the book:

First Aid with Homeopahty

The use of medicinal substances in minute doses has an extraordinary field of application in first aid. Problems ranging from serious allergies to the most basic tending of wounds can be successfully treated using homeopathic remedies. All types of accidents and traumatisms, sprains, fractures, haemorrhages, eye injuries, strains, burns,  frostbite and sunstroke, bites and stings, altitude sickness, inhalation of toxic gases, food poisoning, travel sickness, not to mention emotional shock in  accidents (fright, fainting, panic reactions), all have their rapid and effective treatments in the form of homeopathic remedies. Speedy action, effectiveness and lack of side effects are the main advantages of homeopathic remediation well administered.

One of the principle aims of this guide is to help popular culture recover knowledge of  simple and innocuous treatments for injuries and accidents. It will also assist more expert readers in dealing with any accident situation, however serious, during expeditions to areas with little or no medical assistance, armed of course with the most complete homeopathic first aid kit. Doctors and health workers or those employed on expeditions or humanitarian missions in the Third World, will find this guide is their best ally.

But perhaps this book's chief value lies in describing the extraordinary efficacy of remedies such as arnica (leopard's bane) in traumatism, calendula (marigold) for wounds, cantharis (spanish fly) in burns, or belladonna (deadly nightshade) in sun stroke and sunburn – to give just a few examples. These together with other more complex indications, provide one with an efficient and fast-working set of treatments for the most usual injuries and accidents in schools, in sports centres or the workplace.

This book also provides a brief introduction to homeopathy and the different types of medicine chest, as well as a full description of all remedies cited in the text.
