There are many holistic and complementary therapies that can help with First Aid & Acute Illness. Homeopathy being a great example of this.
Homeopathy has been around for 200 years and was developed as a form of holistic medicine by a German doctor and pharmacist, Samuel Hahnemann. It is the second largest system of medicine in the world, over 200 million people use it worldwide. In India more than 100 million people depend solely on homeopathy for their healthcare.

As a Homeopath I use my morning walks to notice the plants that form the basis of homeopathic remedies. I love the way nature gives us clues to the beneficial uses of plants. I love to explore the remedies in relation to the time of year they grow and bloom, the colour of the plant and where they grow.
The Doctrine of Signatures
Dating from the time of Dioscorides (40–90 AD), a Greek physician, pharmacologist & botanist. The Doctrine of Signatures states that herbs and plants resembling various parts of the body can be used to treat ailments of those body parts, or the similarity of plant colour can match the colour of symptoms. It was believed that plants were marked with ‘signs’ or ‘signatures’ of their purpose. These signs could be shape, colour, or texture and serve as a clue to which organ the plant treats. Examples include the walnut (which looks like a brain) and is used for brain and head related ailments and functions. Eyebright is said to resemble the human eye and is used for treating eye infections.
I introduce these principles into my workshop, which makes for fun and interesting learning. You will learn the basic 18 Remedies and how to use them for everyday injuries and acute complaints.
