ABOUT THE BOOK

      Experts in the fields of botany and reptiles were consulted for the accuracy of the pictures.
          Pictographica Homeopathica started out as scribble-art that emerged from the depths of my homeopathic study notes. A
      colourful page displays the homeopathic remedy source; a mnemonic tweaks the retention of remedy information and the
      humorous stick people (pictographs) give an action oriented visual display of the character of the remedy. This study guide
      is for students of homeopathy and seeks to represent each remedy through several senses in order to optimize mental integration
      of the many remedy dimensions.

          The quandary of how to pictorially present a particular pose was time consuming and occasionally fraught with laughter.
      This method helped to "live the remedy". The mnemonic pages are useful tools in recalling some remedy keynotes. For example,
      Arsenicum album provides Anxious, Restless, Chilly, and Burning pains. This kind of quick symptom recall has proved most
      valuable. Pictographica Homeopathica is a collection of learning tools, including pictographs, photos, colours, sketches,
      humour and mnemonics, to help express the personalities and keynotes of select homeopathic remedies. This multi-dimensional
      reference aids student and practicing homeopaths to remember, ingest and integrate massive amounts of remedy information from
      the Homeopathic Materia Medica.   

  
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
           Marilyn Hirsekorn was born and raised under the Northern Lights in the pristine Yukon Territory. She ate home grown
      vegetables, wild lake trout, and Northern pike, drank glacial water and breathed clean, crisp air. Her love of nature led to
      studies at the University of British Columbia in Zoology and Botany. At midlife, she was stuck in the quagmire of chronic
      Fatigue and fibromyalgia. She sought help from a naturopath, then from a Grand Master of Qi Gong, and finally from a
      homeopath. As she regained her health and energy, she went from evening classes in homeopathy to the full time program at the
      Vancouver Homeopathic Academy.

          During her studies, she began developing a visual tool to help her remember the vast array of remedies. It worked! Then a
      fourth year Academy project took on an exhilarating life of its own as pencilled scribble-art emerged from the pages of her
      remedy notes. Now, in this study guide, Marilyn shares her vibrant visual aids that will help students of homeopathy understand
      and remember the vast amount of information required in this discipline. Since her graduation, Marilyn has continued using her
      skills and knowledge to assist people with their personal health issues.
