Learning Homeopathy
At the bottom of this page is a short list of schools that teach homeopathy.
If you are interested in self-study, the following books are recommended for those just getting into homeopathy. These are all available at the wonderful Minimum Price Homeopathic Books.
Note: A "materia medica" is a dictionary of remedies with extensive listings of signs, symptoms and indications for each. A "repertory" is an index of symptoms that lists remedies for each symptom.
- Getting Started:
- Organon of Medicine, 6th edition - The final work on homeopathic theory and practice by the founder of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.
- Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Materia Medica by William Boericke, M.D. - Many peoples' first homeopathic reference book, complete with a small clinical repertory.
- Materia Medica of Homeopathic Medicines by Dr. S. R. Phatak - A much expanded and updated materia medica along the lines of Boericke's (but without a repertory).
- Homeopathic Dictionary and Holistic Health Reference by Jay Yasgur - Helpful for translating the 19th century English that still pervades much of homeopathy.
- More Advanced:
- Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica by Dr. James Tyler Kent - A much more thorough repertory than the one included with Boericke's materia medica.
- Homeopathic Drug Pictures by M. L. Tyler - Dr. James Tyler Kent was the first homeopath to teach materia medica in holistic "drug pictures." Tyler was one of his star pupils who went on to expand this work after his death.
- The Genius of Homeopathy by Stuart Gross, M.D. - A personal favorite.
Homeopathic Instruction

The Santa Cruz school operating under the instruction of Willa Keizer. Near and dear to my heart, this is where I recently completed three years of homeopathic studies.
International Academy of Classical Homeopathy
George Vithoulkas and his teachings have led the modern resurgence of homeopathy. His website is a treasure trove.
