The Institute of Classical Homeopathy

The ICH is a not for profit school of classical homeopathylocated in San Francisco. It offers a four year academic program drawn from the writings of Dr Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, which adheres to the standards of the British Register of Complementary Practitioners, the most rigorous standards of classical homeopathy in the world today.

In keeping with the ethos of homeopathy, teaching at the ICH uses holistic methods and eschews rote learning. Their thinking is that homeopathy is not just a question of learning the right drugs like orthodox medicine; it is a whole state of mind. The school therefore tries to develop a homeopathic way of thinking in the students, by keeping class sizes small, so that students can explore creative solutions to medical problems. Debate and “outside the box” thinking are positively encouraged, in order to maximize student’s potential.
