A detailed overview of the alternative healing modality and its modern advances
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 case history and 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 as part of his advanced medical research 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 and homeopathy's resonance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploring the broader applications of homeopathic philosophy, Grossinger also examines the concept of the pill-less pharmacy, the microdose basis of astrological charts, and psychic homeopathy.
Presenting a modern understanding of homeopathy as energy medicine, this book offers everything needed to begin self-healing with the power of the nanodose.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Richard Grossinger is the Joseph Campbell of our time. The scope and depth of his knowledge of planetary medical systems are unparalleled. Homeopathy as Energy Medicine guides the reader to a place of self-discovery on their healing journey, offering insight into interpreting pain and suffering with wisdom. This profound book charts new territory in understanding the recovery of the human body, its sovereignty, and interconnected complexities, catering to both professionals and laypeople alike. Medicine is preexisting in our own bodily being and environment, waiting to be recognized by a knowledgeable therapist. This book places homeopathy in the rarified pantheon of correct evolutionary medicine. Brilliant!" * Michael J. Shea, Ph.D., author of The Biodynamics of the Immune System * "Homeopathy as Energy Medicine plumbs the historical depths of homeopathy and the various ancient principles from which it draws and then explores the last half-century of developments in the science and art of homeopathy, with a healthy nod to its futuristic concepts and applications. Grossinger was originally trained as an anthropologist, and this training is clearly evident as he describes with elegance and eloquence this amazing, compelling, and somewhat strange system of healing." * Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH, author of 10 books including The Homeopathic Revolution * "A splendidly written, impressively researched, and erudite text. Richard Grossinger restores energy medicine to its rightful place, which is at the center rather than the periphery of medical history. A treasure trove of remarkable and indispensable information." * Jerry Kantor, L.Ac., CCH, MMHS, author of Sane Asylums and The Emotional Roots of Chronic Illness * "This book is illuminating. In clear, coherent language, Richard Grossinger explains the history of homeopathy, how it works, and why sometimes a smaller dose is more powerful. Highly recommended for anyone interested in homeopathy and energy medicine." * Ellen Dee Davidson, author of Wild Path to the Sacred Heart *
