MASTER had tried his best to make this book as interesting,
exciting and reader-friendly as possible. No such book on
snakes, complete in information and authentic at the same time,
has appeared so far and therefore I
recommend this to all students and practitioners. This
book on ophidia is a delightful and valuable addition to our
knowledge of materia medica and therapeutics.
A
comprehensive overview of homeopathic snake remedies, packed
with up-to-date details about snake taxonomy, biology, habitat,
and provings, with clinical & differential materia medica, both
well-known and newly proven snake remedies – plus an attached
CD contains beautiful flash presentations of snakes along
with descriptions- this book will be useful for busy
practitioners and students alike..

various civilizations and cultures, including Roman mythology,
Greek mythology, Hebrew mythology, Egyptian mythology, Indian
mythology, role of cobra in Indian culture, Buddhist mythology
etc...
