Practice as a Homoeopath!

Increasingly people are turning to natural therapies to provide them with personalised preventative health care plans, management of chronic illnesses and ways to improve their overall wellbeing.

About Homoeopathy 

Homoeopathy is a complete system of medicine developed by German physician and chemist, Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), based on the principle of “like cures like”. This law or principle has been used in medicine and healing since ancient times where the action of substances that could produce symptoms in a healthy individual employed to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Thus, homeopathic treatment is credited with stimulating the body’s ability to fight infection and susceptibility to disease.

What you will learn

> Take a detailed case history of your client.
> Discuss the client’s habits and assess their health needs.
> Prepare & dispense tailored homoeopathic remedies specific to your clients’ health needs.
