The course

Here is a quick overview of each of the main sections, greater detail is given below.

Part 1 Introduction
This gives you a brief overview of homeopathy, its history and its development.

Part 2 Homeopathic principles
This explains the basic principles of classical homeopathy, so that you can understand the philosophy underpinning its application and what healing outcomes to expect.

Part 3 First steps to using homeopathy
We introduce a commonly used remedy for you to start using straight away, prior to undertaking your main study.

Part 4 Case receiving and prescribing guidelines
This gives you guidelines on receiving the case, assessing symptoms and finding the most appropriate remedy (prescribing).

Parts 5, 6, 7 and 8
Here we look at the different conditions and problems which can crop up in pregnancy, during labour, after the birth and in the new born baby during those first few weeks of life and how to find appropriate homeopathic remedies. To help you learn more about homeopathy and casework we have included sample cases at the end of each part.

Part 9 Self Assessed Cases
Here, under the heading for the appropriate part (5-8) are some self-assessment questions, so you can have a go yourself and check your understanding with our answer at the course ‘Answers’ section. You can either work through these at the end of each part, or you can wait until you have completed all of the parts 5 – 8 and then do them all together as you prefer.

Answers
This section holds all the answers to the self-assessment questions and cases and should not be looked at until you have attempted the questions yourself first.

Assignments
Once you have worked through the course, having completed all the self-assessment questions, watched the memory stick and read the books you will be ready to tackle the assignments. These are optional.

 

 

 

 

Memory Stick

The memory stick provides a important part of the learning. It is divided into nine sections to fit with the nine parts of the course. The movie chapters follow most of the course sections, so you can watch the relevant chapter as you work your way through the course.

 

Course books

Homeopathy for Mother and Baby, by Miranda Castro
Here you will find a wealth of self help information as well as detailed information on a large number of remedies appropriate to this stage of life. There will be frequent references to this book during the course and it will be an invaluable reference for prescribing.

Get Well Soon, by Misha Norland and students of the School of Homeopathy
This little gem of a book is perfect for getting started in homeopathy and as a quick reference guide to acute and first aid homeopathy. It is fantastic for helping you deal with accidents and common ailments at home quickly, safely and effectively. It will become your main reference for prescribing and should be kept with the remedy kit.

Homeopathy, A Rational Choice in Medicine, by Mo Morrish
This book will help you learn more about homeopathy and how it stacks up against modern mainstream western medicine. It helps to dispel some of the myths surrounding homeopathy, enabling you to make more informed decisions about healthcare.
