Class Description

Homeopathy is a unique system of holistic health with a long global history, yet it remains widely misunderstood. In this foundational class, students are introduced to the principles, philosophy, and practical application of homeopathy as a system distinct from herbalism, naturopathy, and conventional pharmacology. Rather than focusing on symptom suppression, homeopathy works with highly diluted substances chosen according to specific energetic and symptomatic patterns.

The class explains the central principle of homeopathy—often summarized as “like supports like”—and how substances that can produce certain symptoms in a healthy individual may, when prepared in a specific way, support the body’s self-regulating processes in someone experiencing those same symptoms. Students learn how remedies are prepared, why dilution and succession are central to the system, and how homeopathy approaches the individual rather than isolated symptoms.

This course also explores how homeopathy is commonly used in real-life situations, offering clarity around remedy forms, selection methods, and appropriate expectations. Designed as a practical introduction, the class provides students with a grounded understanding of how homeopathy fits into a broader holistic health framework.
