This book has restructured many important and widely used homeopathic remedies into a thematic form. After a brief introductory paragraph, it takes the major points of a remedy and puts them into specific themes that represent the main idea and keynotes of a remedy. It uses the same categorization of Generalities, Mind and Physicals as other materia medica but gives them headings based on the essential features of a remedy. This way, the most important qualities can stand out and ideally makes it easier for the reader to recognize the key elements, themes and essence of a remedy. This is then supported by taking many of the key physical aspects, organ affinity and keynotes of a remedy to make our use of materia medica more effective in clinical practice.

This book explores the possible use of endangered medicinal plants in Southern Africa from the perspective of Homeopathic Medicine. Certain important medicinal plants that have been overused and are now endangered were explored through the homeopathic experimental method to see if there are similar mechanisms of action from a homeopathic point of view as from a traditional medicine perspective. This cross fertilization process may allow for further exploration and also to see if these species can be preserved by using them as homeopathic medicines by communities throughout Southern Africa.
