The New Materia Medica: Key Remedies for the Future of Homoeopathy Hardcover – Import, April 11, 2017

I am a pretty new student to Homeopathy. This is a great addition to my library!! It is chock filled with actual case studies.

Interesting MM on new remedies! A great addition to the bookshelf.

Great book.

This was my introduction to Colin Griffith's work. One of the challenges we face as homeopaths is keeping up with provings of new remedies. In this book Griffith presents concise materia medica on many and interesting new remedies. His approach is Vermeulen-like so if you're a fan of Vermeulen's work then you will enjoy this book.He presents each remedy with the background information, including how the proving was done, then outlines the main keynotes, followed by the physicals and particulars. He also touches on other aspects like therapeutics and chakras (where the particular remedy may have an affinity). He makes many comparisons to other remedies that are informative and insightful and also demonstrates use of the remedies with case notes.This book is a wonderful addition to my collection and an amazing resource for new remedies that is well written and presented.

This materia medica has proving information for new remedies. It is interesting, but I haven't found any of the remedies to be particularly useful in practice. They are small remedies although I do understand some practitioners have had success with the remedies such as Salix and Butterfly Bush. I am glad I bought it as a reference and I did enjoy reading it. The descriptions are clear and the remedies could be tried when a polychrest did not do the job.This book can be read by the general public with limited knowledge of homeopathy, but I would certainly not feel they could count on the remedies to do what they wanted.

" proven through the practice of meditation"This fuzziness is part of why homeopathy - a system of medicine I revere and that I and my family have used for five decades - has a reputation for a lack of rigor in its research and presentation. I think Hahnemann would be appalled by this sort of thing.Remedies need to be proved with rigorous real-world studies, a well-established but difficult and lengthy process, admittedly, but if we do not insist upon it then where do we draw the line? If this sort of thing is permitted then what's next? Amazing self-proclaimed homeopathy gurus holding substances up to their foreheads and spewing their groovy feelings and sensations to breathless scribes taking notes. Nothing prevents this from happening because it becomes simply a matter of degree that lets the entire camel under the tent. What we see here is just the nose.Sure is a lot easier than doing rigorous provings. Cheaper, too. You just have to convince gullible people to buy the results.

Complete nonsense. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, none of these so-called remedies have undergone the rigorous proving method detailed by Hahnemann, Kent, and many other classical homeopaths - a method that has validated the inclusion of hundreds of remedies in the standard materia medicas of the last two centuries (e.g., those of Hahnemann himself, Hering, Allen, Kent, Clarke, Boericke, et al.). At a time when homeopathy is again coming under increased attack by the allopathic medical establishment and its allies in the massive pharmaceutical industry, publication of books such as this one, replete with its absurdities, can only do harm to the cause of authentic homeopathy.

This is a fantastic guide to new age homeopathic remedies and the author does an amazing job including essential remedies to help us navigate this new world. Easy to read and understand, and access pertinent info pertaining to homeopathic remedies
