Review "Dr. Perko has written a thoroughly informative and easily usable text covering almost all conceivable clinical topics concerning pregnancy, labor, the post-partum period, ailments of the newborn child, and breast and nursing problems. Remedy descriptions are clear, succinct, and highly practical. The organization of the book is impeccable.

The ample differential materia medica is organized according to remedies frequency of utility. The Table of Contents is expanded and a Quick Keynote Reference is provided for faster access to information. This book is the most thorough and usable working homeopath's reference to homeopathic obstetrics that I have seen to date. I highly recommend it to all homeopaths who maintain an obstetrics practice, or who tend to pregnant women and nursing mothers." -- George Guess, M.D., D. Ht., Journal of The American Institute of Homeopathy, Autumn 1997 "Finally a concise but comprehensive therapeutic handbook which is precisely what midwives and health care providers familiar with classical homeopathy need to help them differentiate between many choices of homeopathic medicines available to treat the many medical problems of pregnant women or their infants. This is the book midwives and those caring for pregnant women and their infants will take to the clinic, birthing room and home to help them choose the homeopathic medicine for their patients problems of pregnancy."

About this title

From the Publisher:

Sandra Perko has written what will no doubt prove to be the most comprehensive reference work on the subject of homeopathy and pregnancy for the English speaking homeopathic community. Midwives, physicians, nurses, and professional as well as lay homeopathic practitioners will find themselves reaching for this book time and time again as they assist pregnant women through any number of prenatal and neonatal difficulties. Those who teach homeopathy to midwives or who conduct prenatal classes will find this book to be the most complete reference work available to assist them in teaching every aspect of prenatal and neonatal care. Yet, this book is certainly not just for the professional. The pregnant woman herself, who knows the wonderful benefits of homeopathy, will be able to anticipate and solve, through the use of this book, many of the potential prenatal and neonatal problems in order to insure a happy and trouble-free pregnancy and delivery.

From the Author:

In my twenty years of practice as a clinical nutritionists and homeopath I have had the privilege of working with many expectant mothers and their infants, as well as with a group of very dedicated midwives. I have seen first-hand they type of problems that they face in their day-to-day practice, as well as throughout the actual labor and delivery. I have learned a great deal from them, and I have a very deep respect for their profession, their knowledge, and compassion, and their profound commitment to their craft. My main goal in writing this book was to provide for the physician and midwife a practical reference which could be easily and quickly accessed, especially in emergency situations. Although it is written with the practice of midwifery in mind, all homeopathic practitioners, now matter what their primary practice focus, will find it useful in working with pregnant women under their care. Homeopathy is one of the fastest growing self-help therapies in home health care. Therefore, pregnant women who are acquainted with the use of homeopathy will find this book extremely valuable throughout their entire prenatal and post-natal experience.
