Problems with air travel use homeopathic Rhus tox

Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, or “like cures like.” In other words, homeopathics are minute doses of medicines, which, if given in larger doses, would produce similar symptoms to what the client is already suffering from.

However, in small doses, homeopathics have been shown to cure what they also cause. When homeopathic medicines are tested on healthy humans, symptoms appear. This is known as a “ medicine induced state of disease,” and the symptoms can be related to the symptoms of many natural disease states, whether of an emotional or physiological nature, or a mixture of both.

A homeopathic practitioner, then, is trained to link the natural disease state with homeopathic medicines, and to choose a homeopathic which, in minute doses, will relieve the specific symptoms of their client and bring about a curative effect.

Did you know...homeopathics are:

• Natural and holistic medicines
• Effective in crisis situations (In 1801, Hahnemann, the Father of Homeopathy, used Belladonna to treat and prevent scarlet fever.)
• Fast-acting for trauma situations, both emotional and physical

Homeopathy Travel Tip: The homeopathic Rhus tox has been shown effective for use with air travel, especially when there is nausea.

World Homeopathy Awareness Week, April 10-16, is sponsored by the World Homeopathy Awareness Organization to create an international network of support for homeopathy and homeopathic practitioners. For more information, click here.

Greece Summer School 2008 - Day 2

This morning we met at 7:30 for breakfast at the Taverna on the beach, then boarded the bus to take us to the Medieval city of Ano Syros. The 700 year old town was built as a fortress on the highest central point of the island. We had a fun time admiring the quaint houses and wandering the narrow streets - too narrow for vehicles, donkeys are still used to transport goods.


At the very highest point of the town is the Catholic cathedral of St. George. Still in use today, the original church was built in A.D. 1200 and was rebuilt three times, with the current one dating 1834.



We walked back down the narrow streets to our bus, which took us into Ermoupoli, the capital and main city of Syros. We explored the street markets and the neo-classical architecture of the Vaporia quarter.

Greece Summer School 2008 - Day 1

Welcome to Summer School in Greece - The adventure begins!

Students, faculty, and staff met up at 1:00 p.m. on June 10 in the town of Ermoupoli on the beautiful island of Syros. After brief introductions and signing in with "Camp Mom" Alison, the luggage was loaded and we boarded the bus to our villa in Abela.

We had some time to unpack and get to know our roommates, then met up at the outdoor classroom for orientation and a workshop on preparing natural insect repellants with essential oils. These repellants came in very handy during our stay!There was an hour break before dinner, and some diligent students took advantage of the time to do some studying to prepare for tomorrow's classes!


Then we walked down to the Taverna by the beach for our first "family-style" meal together, and afterwards enjoyed some traditional Greek dancing.
