answer:Go to some early homeopathic work. Perhaps begin with Samuel Hahnemann, M.D., the ‘father of homeopathy’. The approach to healing is altogether different than what you are used to. There was a time when what we now practice in general, was alternative. There are more sick folks now, percentage wise, than ever before. Have you wondered what would happen if everyone became well? Seeking help in the plant world is a wonderful idea. There’s a lot to be said for herbalists as well. The key is finding a great one. And, finding sources with excellent standards. Good luck.
