When you or your children suffer from common ailments such as a sore throat, earache, coughs or tummy upsets (to name just a few) do you usually go to the doctor for medication? Have you found the problem clears up initially, only to return again, perhaps more severely or with side effects?

There is a more natural and effective way to deal with aches and pains which has no side effects and is safe for babies, children and adults. What is she harping on about? - Homeopathy.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine, which respects the fact that every person is a unique individual.

HealthWorks is an established company formed by professional homeopaths, who firmly hold the belief that homeopathy should be introduced and used in every household. Their aim is to enable you to treat these conditions homeopathically from the comfort of your own home through a comprehensive home learning course

The authors of the course are Jean Osborne, LCH, MGH, MHMA and Meryl Hool LCH, MGH, MHMA, who have been practising homeopathy since 1991. They studied and qualified together from the London College of Homeopathy. Jean now runs The Tenterden Practice, in Kent and Meryl works from Helios Pharmacy in Tunbridge Wells. The two have created a homeopathy home learning course, in order to fulfil the following objectives (quoting the marketing spiel)

" Explain and demystify homeopathy
Explain how to match symptoms with remedies
Explain how to apply this knowledge safely and effectively
Encourage people to take responsibility for their own health
Encourage the accessibility of homeopathy to all
Encourage the application of homeopathy in the home
Enjoy confident prescribing for yourself and your family
Enjoy the promotion of vitality and well-being
Enjoy a sense of achievement in your new-found knowledge"

The layered course consists of six separate units covering a variety of homeopathic remedies and their therapeutic use, as well as practical advice and first aid measures where applicable. The first of these units is devoted to the History and Philosophy of Homeopathy, which puts into plain English why and how homeopathy works.
All six units include question sheets, which should be completed by the candidate and returned to HealthWorks for marking. The answers are returned with written comments and model answers. The course is sent out in three modules - as each module is completed, the next will be posted out automatically. However, if you prefer, you can receive the entire course at once. Support is also offered by phone or email if you need any extra help with the course.

The most commonly used remedies are discussed in depth throughout under the heading Materia Medica. Case histories and illustrations are used to fully explain the use of these remedies. The course has been designed as a practical guide to dealing with First Aid, Emergency and Self-help in a safe and effective manner.

In addition to the six units, candidates will also receive two fully illustrated guidebooks enabling them to prescribe for everyday ailments such as sickness and diarrhoea, bites and stings, coughs, fevers, etc.

At the end, successful candidates will be awarded a Certificate of Completion (although it is emphasised that the completion does not qualify the student to practise as a professional homeopath, but simply to allow the candidate to use standard remedies safely and effectively within the home). However if you should decide to study further, this course would provide a firm foundation on which to build your knowledge of this fascinating subject.
What you will get, either bit by bit, or as a whole package (as discussed above) is the contents of the course package, including the two guidebooks, the six unit texts, and the question sheets, presented in a portable carry case.
The course costs approximately £250, but HealthWorks frequently runs promotions, so you may get money off, or a free remedy starter pack.

My Opinion
I completed this course myself, as something to fill in my time during the summer holidays last year, and it is very useful. I am no expert, but I know a lot more now about the use of homeopathy and can now sort out my own headaches etc, without having to always resort to the use of heavy medication. It is far better to do a course like this one, than just take any old rubbish the doctor gives you, not knowing what it is going to do to you.

I think it would be a great present to anyone considering a career in this area, before college, or for anyone with an interest in alternative medicine. It is well laid out and easy to follow, and even though it is not a formal qualification, you get a real sense of achievement from completing it!
