Part of Henry's story is told in this excerpt from a recently published ATMS journal article, A Cup of Tea in the Consulting Room: The Latest in Homoeopathy about Eczema and Allergies. The authors Linda Beaver (LB) and Linlee Jordan (LJ) shared a conversation … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for eczema and allergies

Homeopathy Kit in Hahndorf

A visit to the Adelaide Hills turned up an old homeopathy kit tucked away in the local Hahndorf museum. Hahndorf is a little town up in the Hills of Adelaide. No prizes for guessing that there's a strong German influence in this part of South Australia. It is acknowledged as Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement.

It has a fascinating display about the lives of … [Read more...] about Homeopathy Kit in Hahndorf

By Leave a Comment

One of the great strengths of Homeopathy is the treatment of behavioural problems. The history of homeopathy shows that it is not only in recent times that Homeopathy has laid claim to being able to help challenging children. As far back as 1842, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, described a 14-year-old-girl who was treated because she “spoke irrationally, could not work, rapidly gets in a rage and beats everyone, and became as if mad”. After three months using the remedies Belladonna, Hyoscyamus and Sulphur she “became a healthy, rational, amiable … [Read more...] about Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy
