Sprains, strains, flu, fatigue, depression... Injury and illness are among the most difficult events in the life of athletes, dancers, games players and indeed anyone who enjoys physical activity. Some of these problems require prompt medical attention, others need trained but less urgent care, and others will resolve with rest and commonsense. Recovery can be frustratingly slow. Homeopathic remedies can be used to help speed the process.

This practical book shows you how to use homeopathy in many cases of injury and illness. The author explains the basic principles of homeopathy and describes how to choose and use the most appropriate remedy.
He then advises remedies for traumatic and overuse injuries. A wide variety of common injuries are covered on a regional basis, followed by a chapter on the common ailments that beset athletes and dancers, from pre-performance nerves to indigestion. Ninety remedies are then studied with particular attention to their relevance to the needs of physically active people. The overall discussion is supported by thirty-three detailed cases drawn from the author's own practice.
