Let’s kick things off with the basics!

When you first dive in to homeopathy, it can feel a bit… intimidating.
Homeopathy is just SO vastly different from western medicine that it takes a bit of unlearning/relearning! There are so many books and courses out there- some of lesser value and quality than others. There are so many groups and webinars. Google is filled with pro and anti extremes.
Fear, nevermore. I got you!

First things first- you will need to understand what homeopathy is and what it isn’t.
Many folks use the word ‘homeopathy’ to describe anything natural or holistic. Which, isn’t quite right. Homeopathy is a unique system of medicine that was created over 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann- complete with a full philosophy that guides practitioners in using it safely and practically.
There are many books out there that claim to be perfect for beginners- but I have done some of the leg work for you.

This is the best book to start out with- it sets the playing field and defines what is an acute versus what is chronic. It was written by a colleague and I am so honored to be able to share her work! Psst- this book is available for kindle and only takes about 30 minutes to read if you are a speed reader!

Magic Pills is a FANTASTIC, easy to watch film that shows homeopathy being used around the world. It features some incredible homeopaths that I have had the pleasure of meeting, footage inside homeopathic pharmacies and clinics, and some of the stigma climate that homeopathy faces.
Ananda More, the film maker, is a dear friend! I had the pleasure to work with her a few years ago. This film is available on Amazon Prime and is a great way to get a taste of some ways that homeopathy can help with the problems our world faces today.
You can learn more about the film at magicpillsmovie.com
(ps- I always recommend working with a professional homeopath for chronic issues)

Lastly, I recommend everyone have a basic kit on hand and start learning how to use it in acute situations. I plan to offer a beginners course in the future which would help teach some fundamental groundwork for philosophy and proper use, what a true acute is, and when to get help from a pro. In the meantime- this kit is wonderful and comes with 36 remedies and a small booklet that highlights key uses.
This was the first kit that I purchased. I remember how amazed I was in seeing my younger brother go from full panic mode and in immense pain to being able to relax and continue his plans with a friend after running into a wasps nest and having around 25 stings or more. Did you know? Two of the top remedies for bites and stings are Apis and Ledum. They each have different indications for scenarios that they may be helpful in deciding which would be best- which is why it is important to learn how to use remedies appropriately!
I keep these kits on hand for clients and friends- online they typically are sold for around $75 or more. If you let me know you’ve seen this blog and would like to purchase one directly from me, I would be happy to hook you up 😉
Otherwise, I have linked the image below to Amazon-

A wonderful companion book to go along with these kits is the Complete Homeopathy Handbook by Miranda Castro. Castro carried the torch for mothers using homeopathy in the home and continues to bless many with her amazing gifts to the world. She explains some of the basic philosophy and walks through how to use homeopathy for acutes. Take your time and be patient with yourself! (Don’t give up if a remedy doesn’t seem to fit well and remember I am here to help if you need it.) You can also visit her site here.

Thanks for reading! Please share with your friends and loved ones that may be new to homeopathy and encourage them to check out this amazing world of homeopathy.
