Homeopathy Awareness Week

Homeopathy Awareness Week in Britain coincides with World Homeopathy Awareness Week, from 10th to 16th April. The start date of Homeopathy Awareness Week was chosen to commemorate who is the founder of homeopathy and was born in Germany on 10th April 1755.

Hahnemann discovered the healing powers of drugs and inert substances such as gold and platinum. He produced astounding cures in some of the worst epidemics of his time where the survival rates in homeopathic hospitals outstripped those in conventional hospitals.

The word homeopathy has its roots in Greek and means ‘similar suffering’ The medicine is based on the principal of like-cures-like, in that a substance which could produce symptoms in a healthy person could cure those same symptoms displayed by a person in a diseased state.

The wealthiest families and the royalty of Europe were early patrons of homeopathy. Our modern day royals, namely The Queen and HRH Prince Charles also use homeopathy. The Queen is a patron of the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (formally the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital) and is said to never travel without her first-aid homeopathic remedy kit. Celebrities including: David Beckham, Jude Law, Helena Bonham Carter, Jennifer Aniston and Chris Martin all use homeopathy.

Homeopathy Awareness Week aims at raising awareness of homeopathy through public events such as: lectures, media interviews, volunteer first-aid and acute prescribing, free & low cost clinics, written materials, pieces on social media, editorial articles etc. in many countries around the world.

Past Homeopathy Awareness Week campaigns in the UK have focused on issues such as children’s, women’s health, hay fever, allergies, and sports. This year there will be new activities happening across the homeopathy profession, to find out what is going on visit www.homeopathyawarenessweek.com. There should also be things happening in your local area, look out for events publicised in through your nearest natural health clinic, homeopathic clinic, natural pharmacy or local health food shop.

Homeopathy Awareness Week is about promoting homeopathy. In Britain the market for homeopathy is estimated to be growing in popularity every year, there are over 4000 homeopathic medicines available from 3000 registered homeopaths. One in eight people in the UK use homeopathy and homeopathy is now practiced all over the world.

Homeopathy is sometimes misunderstood and attacked by people who have little knowledge of the subject and of how homeopathy works.
