Top 10 Books for using homeopathy at home

Here’s a fun fact, you may not know about the books sold through the Harbord Homeopathic Clinic: Any proceeds for the books we sell go to The Aurum Project, a not for profit Australian Homeopathy research organisation, based here in Brookvale too. They carry out much needed research with the mission to increase the understanding and practice of homeopathy in Australia.  

Here are our 10 top selling homeopathy books this year –  for anyone using homeopathy for their family, pets, garden, sports injuries and more. 

1   Homeopathy for Farm and Garden (Kaviraj) – 6th revised edition

This book focuses on the homeopathic treatment of plants in cases of malnourishment, parasitic and fungal attack, bacterial and viral disease, damage, and weed infestation.

In the book you will find examples of well-known homeopathic remedies such as Calendula for damage during repotting and Calcium phosphoricum for root rot.

Kaviraj’s experience with slugs:
“Helix tosta 6: I initially had my doubts whether this would work. I sow my vegetables in winter on the windowsill. Later I move the seedlings to a cold frame – from then on, I always needed to spread slug pellets otherwise nothing survives. This year I tested Helix tosta as described in the book: 1st dose 10 ml in 10 liters of water; 2nd dose a week later, 5 ml in 10 liters water; 3rd dose another week later, 2.5 ml in 10 liters water. The results were amazing. After just one dose, there was not a single slug to be seen! The seedlings were untouched. Later I moved the plants to the field and even there they were undisturbed for quite some time. The snails ate a few plants but didn’t return the next day.”
