- Comprehensively examines what homeopathy is and places the practice within the larger framework of energy medicine and microdose effects - Lays out the principles and origins of homeopathy, explaining its discovery and development by Samuel Hahnemann - Explores the rise and fall and current rise in popularity of homeopathy over the years and its resonance during the COVID-19 pandemic Helping first-time patients as well as longtime devotees gain a deeper understanding of just what homeopathy is, Richard Grossinger presents a comprehensive overview of the healing art, explaining its essential philosophy and methodology and showing how it relates to the broader concepts of energy medicine and nanodose treatments. He introduces homeopathy's basic framework and explores its three central principles: the Law of Similars, microdose transmission of energetic information, and potentization. Addressing the many critiques of homeopathy, he looks at the power of the placebo effect and offers a comparison of homeopathy to other alternative and mainstream healing modalities. Placing homeopathy in a historical context, he explores doctor Samuel Hahnemann's discovery of homeopathy in the late 18th century and looks at medical and pharmaceutical systems that preceded homeopathy, such as alchemy, Paracelsan herbalism, and Greek and Roman medicine. He examines homeopathy's rise and fall in popularity over the years, including its renaissance in early 19th-century North America and its revival in the counterculture of the 1970s. He looks at modern evolutions of homeopathy, including Dr. Rajan Sankaran's "sensations" theory, homeopathy's resonance during the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of the pill-less pharmacy, the microdose basis of astrological charts, and psychic homeopathy. Presenting a contemporary understanding of homeopathy as energy medicine, this book offers everything needed to begin self-healing with the power of the nanodose.Author Biography
