Review by Eileen Nauman, Homeopath, author of Homeopathy and Epidemics, Help and Homeopathy (USA)

As a homeopath and author of several books on homeopathy, I know the YEARS and the experience it takes to publish any homeopathic book. Dr. Ks Gopi was a former professor at the Government Homeopathic Medical College. India welcomes homeopathy equal to traditional medical ways of treating health conditions.

I received my copy of Dr. Gopi's book on Friday, 11.11.2022. I have a friend who has a rare immune condition balled Ballus Pemphigoid (Pemphigus). There is NOTHING tradition medicine has except the use of corticosteroids. That's it. I was eager to see if Dr. Gopi covered this disease and sure enough, he did.

The book is in ENGLISH (hooray!) so this is a worldwide book that should be used not only by homeopaths, but by any MD who cares about her/his patients and helping them with any skin condition, has a much larger arsenal of possible help for them, other than the harsh steroid route.

The book is well laid out by an A to Z of skin diseases. An explanation of it, the etiology, the classification, diagnosis, and one I like that you don't normally find, is "management general measures" which will be helpful to homeopaths who may not have a traditional medical training. The last part is Homeopathy Medicine and this is where this invaluable book shines.

Dr. Gopi's prestigious homeopathic background shines both in information on homeopathic remedies for the condition, there are symptoms, remedy and potency for them. For example, Pemphigus has four different types within it's possible types and he has symptoms for three of the four conditions in detail.

In homeopathy, symptoms (not the name of the disease) is king. And Dr. Gopi has given us an incredible treasure trove of where you find the dis-ease, as well as particular symptoms in that part of the body for it. This book targets the symptoms clearly, fully and will be enormous help to a homeopath who might be looking at two different remedies. With this book? It is easy to decide which remedy to give the suffering patient/client.

This book is large, 522 pages, filled with color photos of every possible skin condition, the font size large and readable, colorful, and details on miasm and dosage.

Dr. Gopi has given the world, quite literally, a way to help anyone with a skin disease, another choice on how to help your patient/client. It is 10" x 7.5" hardcover book.

Easy to read. AIY Publications.
