Learn Homeopathy

Introduction

I have been teaching and practicing homeopathy for over 30 years. Some of my teachers include: George Vithoulkas, Roger Morrison, and many of the classic authors, such as James Tyler Kent and William Boericke.

The Basic Principles of Homeopathy Video 1. 

Video 2.

What are the three principles of homeopathy:

  1. The single remedy – only one medicine is used at a time.
  2. The similar remedy – the medicine in a large dose could produce the same symptoms.
  3. The minimum dose – ultra high dilutions are used to stimulate a curative response.

Here are the first steps to learn homeopathy:

First Aid, Sports Injuries, Burns and Trauma

First aid homeopathic remedies are easy to learn and use. They are remedies for such things as car accidents, sports or work related injuries, wounds, after surgery to prevent infection, burn pain, food poisoning, sunstroke, and more. I recommend them before you use any other pain medication for three reasons: They are effective, have no side effects and are non-addictive. Often there is no better medicine that could be taken.

The following books contains all the information to learn these basic remedies, when and how to use them:

Homeopathy Nature’s Way to Better Health: Volume One

Homeopathy Nature’s Way to Better Health: Volume Two

Arnica montana 30c – The first remedy to use for pain after an accident, or injury. It is best used for bruises, sprains, head injury or pain from a fall or car accident. Click on the name of the remedy above to see the video.

Arsenicum album 30c- Food poisoning, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. It is best to take this remedy as soon as one feels nausea from eating or drinking contaminated food or water. It can help with viruses or bacteria. 

Calendula officinalis 30c –  Cuts, scrapes, to prevent infections from surgery. It can also be used as a salve for cuts or scrapes. 

Click on each remedy above and watch the YouTube presentations. Make some notes as you watch them. 

Purchase these three remedies from a health food store and try them out. Take one dose according to the information you learn on the videos or from my book. They are safe to use (if you take only one dose), and do not produce side effects, if for some reason they were not indicated. Only take one dose and wait a two hours to evaluate the results. Go online and find a homeopathic pharmacy in your area or try asking at your local health food store in order to purchase them. Boiron Homeopathic Pharmacy, and Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy are two that I use.

Reviews:

Dr. Steve Olsen’s classes are the perfect balance of the convenience and affordability of online learning, with the rigor, individual attention, and enthusiastic presentation of a master class on clinical homeopathy and advanced comparative materia medica.  It is so compellingly taught that it is like joining him and his patients in the clinic on what must be among the most interesting days of his practice.  I’ve really benefited from the challenge of analyzing the cases on my own, getting Dr. Steve’s friendly and expert feedback, and then seeing the follow-up interview with the client along with Dr. Steve’s insightful analysis. He is a great homeopath and teacher who shares his considerable expertise generously.

Thanks so much for a great learning experience that is just what I need at this point in my homeopathic career!  Abby

Dr. Steve Olsen’s study group provides a unique opportunity to increase your success with homeopathic practice, through study of cured cases, many using “new” remedies.  Dr. Olsen leads you through each case, from the initial case-taking through the follow-up appointments,  creating a feeling of having been a witness to the whole process and thereby teaching you how to do the process on your own.  He creates this experience by discussing analysis of the case, rubric selection, remedy differentials, considerations of relevant pathology, posology, and case management, richly supplemented with notes and videotaped interviews of patients.  Participants are encouraged to actively work through each case and given opportunities to ask questions and receive feedback, making the process come alive and contributing to deep learning.  The study group atmosphere is an enjoyable combination of scholarly inquiry and pleasant, collegial interaction.  I highly recommend Dr. Olsen’s Simila study group to anyone who wants to become a more skilled homeopathic practitioner.
