[post_content] => The summer 2019 issue of the Society's New Homeopath magazine puts the case for homeopathy to be recognised as an evolving, responsible and truly sustainable form of healthcare.
Through a series of articles by experts about the role it plays in practice, education, outreach, professional development and farming, it explores how homeopathy is helping to address the effects that depleting resources, changing demographics, worsening diets and climate crisis are having on global health.
One feature reports on the voyages of the Travelling Homoeopaths Collective, a band of itinerant practitioners who tour the country in their trusty 55-year-old bus, Bodicca.
“The consensus is that the manufacturing, scrappage, battery technology and other processes involved in motor manufacture are much more costly than keeping an older vehicle in good condition,” they say in the article.
“Bodicca sports four solar panels on the roof which allow us to power up the marquee after dark, charge the crew’s mobile phones, battery packs, cameras and other technologies that we so rely on, as well as providing around 90 per cent of the power needed to run our summer school.”
As well as their visits to festivals and other events, the collective is soon to introduce a mobile clinic, initially to towns and cities in the South and South-West.
Mani Norland, principal of the School of Homeopathy, reveals the results of the school’s latest survey of public attitudes to climate change and global healthcare which showed that half of those polled were worried about the amount of chemicals in mainstream drugs and many would look favourably on medicines that safeguarded the health of the planet as well as patients.
“Could this be an opportunity for homeopathy to expand its reach?” he asks. “It is, after all, one of the greenest and most sustainable healthcare options currently available. And with the possibility of literally thousands of doses sourced from a single sample of the original substance, homeopathy is the ultimate in renewable medicines.
“While conventional drugs bear a heavy cost, financially as well as ecologically, homeopathy offers a safe, low-cost and effective alternative.”
Meanwhile, Professor Aaron To Ka Lun, president of the Hong Kong and Macau homeopathy associations, writes that the four elements of a financially healthy homeopathic community are clinical effectiveness, a win-win education model, research and marketing.
“When we can make homeopathy an industry with reasonable prospects and returns for all sectors, young people will not hesitate to join us in establishing a life-long career as homeopaths, especially when they have experienced the clinical benefits for themselves. This is the only way to make homeopathy sustainable for future generations,” he says.
