Reviews

"Having had the opportunity of reading Sadhana Thakkar's Insights into the Consciousness of Snake Remedies, I am impressed how this book manages to cover the full spectrum of perspectives of these remarkable remedies.

"The reader is presented first with a broad introduction to snakes in general including their anatomy & physiology and lifestyle. As the book unfolds, unique details of each snake speciesas well as corresponding remedy are revealed in a systematic manner.

"We slowly begin to see the similarities along with distinct differences between various sub-families of snakes. The presentation of cases is stimulating as she starts with such straightforward simple examples moving to a much more complex presentations. This style of studying Materia Medica is so complete that it is valuable to all homeopaths regardless of the length of their experience.

"For a practitioner, Sadhana's work lends usable characteristics of the doctrine of signatures along with clinically proven characteristics and for the student, the book opens doors to other snakes beyond Lachesis and brings a clarity to other snakes with simple differential charts.

"I have had the pleasure of pouring over many Materia Medica's in the past couple of years and this book is a real gem — concise and complete. I wish there were more books like this covering other families of homeopathic remedies."
