The effects of emotional trauma can be reflected in every cell and tissue of the body. Entire families may be the recipients of a deep ancestral wound carried on down the generation line, causing havoc in relationships such as abandonment, sexual abuse, and addictions. The author - a very experienced homeopath himself - explores, with cases, both mild and profound trauma from early childhood and birth, as well as the effects of traumas through war, violence, AIDS, and famine. A very interesting and thought-provoking read, which highlights the transformational, healing power of homeopathy.
