Homeopathy books for home prescribers
Recommended general homeopathy books in order of practicality
For those who are interested in pursuing homeopathy, here are the top picks I highly recommend. I’ve used them myself and they have withstood the test of time with thousands of parents all over the world.
Homeopathic self-care: The quick and easy guide for the whole family
by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman & Robert Ullman
This book comes as the MOST highly recommended by at home prescribers known to me. The Ullmans have long been serving the spectrum community and have been supportive of those who choose to use homeopathy at home for acute complaints.
Whole Woman Homeopathy: A Safe, Effective, natural Alternative to Drugs, Hormones, and Surgery
by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman
This book helps a woman treat herself effectively for a wide range of common women's health conditions, while directing her to seek professional help from a competent homeopath when necessary. It also shows her how to find the correct homeopathic medicines for self-treatment and the fifty homeopathic medicines that should be in every woman's home medicine kit.
The savvy traveler’s guide to homeopathy and natural medicine: Tips to stay healthy wherever you go!
by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman & Robert Ullman
I would highly recommend their travel book. Paper back or Kindle edition (4.31 CDN). I like the eBook myself – makes it easier to carry when travelling!
The complete homeopathy handbook
by Miranda Castro
One of the first books I bought and used as an at-home practitioner and as a homeopath. In this book, Miranda introduces you to how to repertorize.
Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth and Your Baby’s First Year By Miranda Castro
by Miranda Castro
Most people who are introduced to homeopathy out of a necessity to find natural support during pregnancy and a baby’s first year of life are mothers. Miranda covers pretty much every contingency during pregnancy, delivery and the first year for both mom and baby. From morning sickness to post-partum depression, to breast feeding to teething issues…she covers it all. An excellent resource for new mothers.
Miranda is one of my favorite homeopaths and is a great encourager and generous soul. Check out her website, as well, to find lots of resources and articles.
Homeopathic medicine at Home: Natural Remedies for Everyday Ailments and Minor Injuries
By Maesimund B. Panos and Jane Heimlich Foreword by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn
Dr Panos was one of the early homeopaths to compile a book that was useful for the home prescriber. It was the first of its kind and was extremely useful to those who were new to homeopathy in a way that no other books had been up to that point.
Dr. Robert Mendelsohn the author of How to Raise a Healthy Child…In Spite of Your Doctor wrote the foreword in this book. I use the tips in his chapter on fever extensively in my courses. His advice is as relevant today as it was in 1987 when the book was published. I wish I had read this when I was raising my children, I would have done two things differently: I would have chosen vaccine free options and refused fever suppressing medications – especially after vaccination.
As a result of my decisions that I now regret, this has become the reason I teach homeopathy and infectious illnesses, so that you can be well informed and make the health decisions that are best for you and your family.
Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicines
by Stephen Cummings & Dana Ullman
This is the very first book I bought and used extensively when I first learned about homeopathy. The book is an easy read and covers any and all common complaints that you might face with family and kids. The writers also include a discussion about when you might need medical help at the end of each illness, which home prescribers might find especially helpful.
As my go-to for all illnesses for the family at home, I remember reading out loud to my husband – listen! It says that the remedies are diluted! That was my aha awakening moment to the idea of dilution and potentization. How could diluting a substance make it ‘stronger’ or more effective?!
Homeopathic Medicines for Children and Infants
By Dana Ullman, MPH
After I bought Ullman’s first book (Dana Ullman is not related to Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman or Robert Ullman), I bought his book for Children and Infants. I found it helpful to have more than one book when I was first learning homeopathy…that and I love books!
Even though it covers many acute illnesses, this book is specifically written for children’s complaints and he recommends remedies for more than 75 physical and emotional conditions, including: allergies, grief, anxiety, headaches, asthma, measles, bed-wetting, nappy rash, bites and stings, shock, burns, sunburn, colic, teething, coughs and colds and travel sickness.
Do check out Dana Ullman’s website. He is another homeopath who generously shares articles and resources, promoting homeopathy every chance he gets.
Homeopathy for Children
by Gabrielle Pinto & Murray Feldman
If you are a ‘to the point’ kind of person, this is the book for you! You’ll find homeopathic remedy pictures along with common illnesses in a quick reference, alphabetically arranged guide – a fast and easy read for the parent with a kid who is sick now! (Murray Feldman was also my teacher at the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy)

Please note I am in the process of updating this part of the list - please come back next week for the full list!
The people’s repertory
by Luc de Schepper
This is a handy repertory for an at home prescriber. You can look up a symptom or several symptoms and find a remedy that matches the person with a possible remedy choice.
Homeopathy: Medicine for the new millennium
by George Vithoulkas
George Vithoulkas is a modern day homœopath who has trained many of the prominent homeopaths today. He has been practicing and teaching homeopathy for almost 60 years now. He has been credited with the revival of homeopathy in the Western World.
Kent’s lectures on homeopathic materia medica
by James Tyler Kent
This is a classic and pre-requisite for most homeopathy schools. Kent has a way of bringing the remedies to life through lecture and cured cases.
Vermeulen Synoptic I and II
by Frans Vermeulen
I often refer to Vermeulen’s Synoptic Materia Medica. There is a volume 1 and a volume 2. These are reference texts and can be costly for beginners or at-home prescribers but certainly a handy reference book.
Book list in order of most useful
12 Essential minerals for cellular health: An introduction to cell salts
by David Card
This book is handy to have on hand. You can read the main indications for each cell salt. Card has suggestions for first aid, emergencies, surgery, and specific acute ailments listed alphabetically and how to creatively use cell salts in combination and for external use.
The biochemic prescriber: A handy guide for prescribing Dr Schussler’s biochemic tissue salts to family and friends
by Prashant S. Shah
Another handy book to have on hand and like Card’s book 12 Essential Minerals, this could be easily tucked away in your first aid at home or travel kit.
The 12 tissue remedies of Schussler
by Boericke and Dewey
This is a more in-depth book on cell salts – one of the originals and reads more like a textbook. You will find the philosophy, the individual cell salts with indications for use (and set up much like a homeopathic repertory), therapeutic applications (ailments listed alphabetically) with case studies and finally, a repertory of symptoms (how a materia medica is set up and how a repertory is set up is covered in the lessons)
Facial diagnosis of cell salt deficiencies
by David Card
The Facial Diagnosis book by David Card includes photos of the deficiencies in real people. You will see that sometimes, people need more than one cell salt according to the facial analysis. This book also introduces the idea of astrology and particular cell salts – 12 astrological signs and 12 cell salts.
The chemistry and wonders of the human body
by Dr George Carey
Carey’s book is like the Boericke and Dewey book in terms of how it is organized. If you had to choose just one book, I would suggest the Boericke and Dewey. Carey’s book was published after (1894) Boericke and Dewey’s (1888) so that is likely why the overlap.
