Susanne Saltzman, M.D., will offer a course in homeopathic medicine for the layperson and health professionals beginning in September. Meet one Saturday per month for 10 months to learn how to treat family, friends and patients with homeopathic remedies. Those interested should register now as the course is limited to 20 students.

“Homeopathy is a fascinating system of medicine that will leave you inspired. The course will be informative and enjoyable,” enthuses Saltzman, a private practitioner specializing in homeopathic and functional medicine. She has successfully treated thousands of adults and children with a wide range of illnesses for more than 30 years and will draw on many cured cases from her own practice to illustrate these remedies during the course.

Saltzman explains that homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses natural substances to stimulate the body’s immune system to heal disease. It recognizes that every person is unique in the way they express illness; therefore, two people with the same “disease” may need two completely different homeopathic remedies. A remedy treats the “whole” person which means that a person’s mental and emotional characteristics are just as important as their physical symptoms in the selection of the correct remedy.

During the course, students will learn homeopathic theory and philosophy; acute prescribing; chronic, constitutional prescribing; and in-depth analysis of the most common remedies used in practice today.
