    Homeopathy Class Part 2

     Thursday September 4th from 630-8pm

    Location: The Parrish Home - 2344 Windy Cove Ct. in League City

    *This class is for parents only, no childcare available.

    We will briefly review the basic principles of using homeopathic remedies for acute, self-limiting illnesses.  Then we’ll move on to how to match the dosing to your unique situation, changing remedies to match changing symptoms and practical things that help the body along the path to health again. We will discuss how to begin creating a ‘kit’ of remedies that suit your particular family’s needs and a simple method to keep track of doses during an acute illness.  We’ll also address how to navigate the sometimes overwhelming amount of health information available to us today!  There is quite a bit of fear mongering in both traditional and alternative medicine camps!  Good sense and simple practices can go a long way in maintaining and regaining health after illness.

    Please join us even if you missed Part 1.  It will still be beneficial.

    Bev Parrish has been using homeopathy for almost 20 years to care for her family's common ailments.  She recently completed her studies through The College of Practical Homeopathy in London and is now licensed as a homeopath.
