"A very nice book on the Asteraceae remedies. This materia medica combines information from all directions in homeopathy, allowing a full presentation. The layout and the beautiful photos provide a good connection to the plants." Jan Scholten

 

Daisies and marigolds, flowers of our central star, the sun, are central to our materia medica. Where would we be without Bellis perennis, Calendula, Chamomilla and Arnica? The artist Georgia O’ Keeffe wrote that “nobody really sees a flower, we haven’t time, and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time”. In this book you are invited to get closer to the essential nature of old friends such as Arnica and become better acquainted with others such as Artemisia absinthium and Millefolium.
