This 8-hour course (offered either as a one-day seminar, or in 4 sessions over a month) provides an introduction to self-prescribing for the everyday complaints of a healthy family. This includes coughs, colds, ear infections, sore throats, stomach disorders, flu, and first aid. We cover the basic principles of homeopathic philosophy to provide a structure for understanding simple prescribing. We also look at symptoms in depth to help guide you in observing illness. We cover the most commonly used remedies for each of the above disorders as well as the basic principles of dosing and repetition of remedies.
I have been teaching this course for 10 years now and find that people love it. The ability to help loved ones when sick is empowering and comforting. People appreciate feeling like they have some control over their family’s health, especially when traveling, in the middle of the night, or when otherwise away from their usual support network. Because homeopathy is so safe, self-prescribing for everyday acute illnesses is low-risk, and high benefit — and within anyone’s ability after a course like this.
