Oldest Licensed Herbal College In U.S. Takes On A Homeopathy Course
(NewsTarget) The School of Natural Healing, founded by Dr. John R. Christopher, has been teaching herbal medicine for 54 years. Recently it announced the creation of a Homeopathy course, constructed from live lectures from David Card, a leading expert in Homeopathy.

These live lectures will be recorded to continue the tradition of home-study education that the School of Natural Healing has worked to provide to anyone committed enough to learn the material.

The Homeopathy home-study course will be available for purchase by January 1st of 2008.

To most people, there is no distinction between Homeopathy and Herbs. Actually, though, they are quite different.

Herbology is all about plants, generally whole plants and natural extracts of whole plants. This varies and gets into alchemy with Chinese medicine and gets into chemical extractions in modern herbal medicine, but always we are talking about the medicinal, nutritive and energetic values of plants.

Homeopathy, on the other hand, does not depend on plants alone. Many remedies are not plant-based at all. The original Homeopathic preparations included some plants, some poisons and some minerals. Today, Homeopathic preparations can include just about anything you can imagine.

At one extreme there are toxic chemicals and animal parts, at the other extreme there are totally pure flower remedies known as Bach Flower Remedies or North American Flower Remedies.

Homeopathy also includes some preparations that are just water, which then gets charged with the "frequency" of the energy needed to effect healing.
