A reference for the practitioner who meets an archaic or unfamiliar word in the literature and needs to know what it meant: Jay Yasgur’s Homeopathic Dictionary and Holistic Health Reference, 4th edition.
Nearly 4,500 entries, gathered from the homeopathic literature, define obsolete, repertory and archaic medical terms, along with many modern terms found in homeopathic literature. The language of Kent’s era is the difficulty Julian Winston, editor of Homeopathy Today, names in his foreword: “the similarity of the language is deceiving, for there are subtle shadings in the meaning of words.”
Alongside the definitions, the book includes:
- obituaries of Homeopaths
- pronunciations of remedy names
- a glossary of alternative therapies
Yasgur began the book after finding how many medical terms were unfamiliar to him when he first studied homeopathy. It sits well beside a repertory or a Materia Medica that you read often. Check what your package already includes on the package comparison before adding it.
