Can anybody recommend a good guide to homeopathy - one that gives illness, recommended homeopathic treatment, dosage, etc. in a simple format?

I recently bought several books on natural healing and homeopathy. Many of them have great merit making it difficult to choose one. Basically what I did is went to my local bookstore, new and used and looked through what was available there, then looked at reviews at Amazon.com. The library can also be of use. If they don't have any do an interlibrary loan on different ones until you find one you especially like.

One of the books I bought that I liked was Homeopathic Remedies. It is written by the same author who also wrote Herbal Remedies, but can't think of his name just now. In the Homeopathy book there is a forward by the actress Jane Seymour so that might help identify the book if you see it. It seems to be concise, easy to read, illnesses in alphabetical order and treatment and dosage.

You'll find scores of natural remedies that can replace or enhance costly pharmaceuticals, including: Relief for aches and pains ranging from arthritis, angina and back pain to menstrual cramps and sciatica. Remedies for gastrointestinal problems from constipation and flatulence to inflammatory bowel disease and ulcers. Herbs that can reduce your risk of cancer, heart attack, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. Cures for infections ranging from colds and flu to sore throat and yeast infections. Herbal drinks that reduce fever. And much more. The Green Pharmacy. Plus, Dr. Duke provides an easy rating system to quickly identify the most effective herbal remedies for each condition".
