GFSH Newsletter, Winter ‘07

Hi folks,

I’ve been immersed in studies with the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst, so the Guide for Self-Healing newsletters are few and far between these days. Rather than monthly, I think the cycle will more realistically be seasonally :). But I continue to update the site with new articles.

What is Heilkunst?

A little background

People often ask me what Heilkunst is, because it’s not a commonly known name even in the natural medicine field.

A dilemma you may be facing and how I can help…

You’re seeking natural healing methods. But you’re overwhelmed and wondering where to begin or how to fit the pieces together. The experts all give you different views, and you’re on your own to sort things out.

It’s a common problem - navigating through the multitude of conflicting methods and information on natural healing. How can you distinguish the wheat from the chaff, and create a rational, cohesive program that addresses your own personal priorities? How do you even determine what those priorities are?
