Acute prescribing is one of the most important aspects of Homoeopathy. It is the most frequently used with many remedies available at the local chemist.
In First Aid situations Homoeopathy cannot be bettered. It deals effectively with shock and even affects the clotting factor to stop bleeding.
However, homoeopathic remedies are not prescribed in the same way as chemical drugs. To get the best out of the remedies they must be used according to homoeopathic principles, recognising the individuality of the patient and matching to the individuality of the remedy. This book leads the way through from first aid situations to minor ailments. Minor ailments are placed in the content of the overall health state of the patient. Homoeopathy does not treat symptoms but the patient, i.e. how does the ailment arise.
