If there’s a healing modality that can bring up some polarizing opinions… it’s homeopathy.
Some say it’s incredibly effective (even where all else fails), some scoff it off as nothing but placebo. Others don’t understand what it is at all, or how to use it . . .
So today- we’ve got an incredible expert on the show. Rachel Roberts is the Chief Executive at the Homeopathy Research Institute, and she’s separating fact from fiction in today’s episode.
Personally, I’ve been using homeopathy since I was a kid, and it’s something I continue to use today in conjunction in with other modalities (which is a big opinion I’ll get into in this episode).
I believe it to be an incredibly useful tool in our toolbox, and for those who might not know what it is, or are feeling skeptical- today’s episode is definitely worth a listen.
