Classical Medical Astrology: Healing with the Elements

Compared to the thousands of books wrote about "astrology" and health that have only new age psycho babble, this book is light years ahead. Please, buy this book before wasting your money in any of them to see what the tradition of thousands of years of astrology had before they invented "the secret"!The book is not heavy, and this is not a problem per se, but I would like more comments on common ailments, like flu, pains, problems in the skin, etc. without giving enough to worry that the most stupid readers would go out and try to "practice" traditional medicine, it would be interesting more "home made remedies" for this common ailments, like the traditional chicken soup for colds.But a very good book overall.

I learned a lot from this book! I’m fascinated by the idea of medical astrology so I wanted to dive in more. I will say, for a beginner I was a little confused. It was dense for me. But I think if I read it again, and perhaps consult some other books first, I’ll understand it more. I liked the section on crystals! That was super interesting to me. P

This is the clearest book on traditional medical astrology I have found so far. Good explanation of using humnoral considerations and sign/planet correspondences to zero in on causes and remedies. A major contribution to the field. As soon as I get my website reorganized and functioning as it should again, this is one of the books I'll put up with an endorsement and a link to buy it on Amazon.

I learned a great deal from this book on classical medical astrology. The title says it - Hofman writes from the old school. He talks about diagnosing with horary charts according to particular rules and placements; the humors and elements associated with the planets and signs and how these can be interpreted medically. He discusses the use of herbal treatments, and interestingly he goes into some detail regarding the spiritual healing stone/spine/virtue correspondences which were developed by St. Hildegard von Bingen. It is very interesting and I read it several times for use in diagnosing self and friends.

Many people have been helped in their healing via my direct experience with the concepts and techniques presented in this book.Rather than writing a long review here I would like to invite those who would like to read real life chart interpretation examples based on Oscar Hofman's knowledge to go to my web site at TRADITIONALMEDICALASTROLOGY.ORG.

One of the many basic books on Medical Astrology. Medical Astrology will of course never cure anything, nor will any diagnosis made this way give anymore than a very broad result that can be ambiguously unhelpful. Nevertheless it is interesting from a historical point of view and a must read for those interested in medical history.

It seems that the "writer", extracted information from real M.A. practitioners. It is obvious that he has very little, or no knowledge on the subject. Poorly written, much is wrong data.A ripoff

Everything you need to know about real medical astrology. This book covers all topics: the underlying world view, the imbalances, the diagnostics, prognostics, treatment, and prevention.

Gostei do livro e recomendo para que quer ampliar seus conhecimentos.

A very interesting approach to the subject: simple, practical, comprehensive.

An excellent introduction to medical astrology according to the classical model of Hyppocrate and Avicenne (Ibn Sina). Covers the 4 elements and the humours, finding the cause of any disease through horary astrology, a spiritual approach to disease and its cure according to Hildegaarde de Bingen. Compatible with traditional medicines, and especially with Unani t-Tibb, Ibn Sina's medicine which is our ancient european humoural medicine as preserved within the islamic tradition. I thank the author highly for introducing me to this medicine. Further information on it can be found in books by Hakim G M Chisti. From an astrological standpoint, the author is a student of John Frawley and relies mostly on Culpeper and Saunders.

I have been studying astrology for a few years now including medical/Honary - this book gives a fresh approach to applying the medical knowledge to the chart. Even though the books states you cannot use natal charts to uncover medical issues that is the only thing I would disagree on with the author.

Brilliant
