Homeopathy School Hosts Spring Talks and Events
n celebration of spring, Teleosis
Homeopathic Collaborative, LLC, in Newton, is sponsoring a series of local educational talks on homeopathy, an effective, non-polluting and affordable healing modality. Homeopathy works by stimulating the body’s own healing abilities in natural ways that support both
personal and ecological health. “Since human and planetary health are tightly linked, it only makes sense to use healing modalities that support both,” says Teleosis co-owner Tanya Renner.
Renner says that homeopathy can be used at home to address common complaints. Remedies include arnica for bruising, calendula for wounds, ferrum- phos cell salt for the early stages of colds and biochemic phosphates for stressed nerves. “With a little more guidance, people will be able to use the many other homeopathic preparations available,” says Renner. “For more complex complaints, they’ll want to seek professional care, and we provide local referrals.” Teleosis Homeopathic Collaborative is one of the few licensed and accredited homeopathy schools in the United States.

Restorative Exercise Classes in Brookline
atja Swift, director of CommonWealth Center for Herbal Medicine, in Brookline, is beginning a new series of movement classes in May. Swift says the low-impact classes, offered at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and 12:30 p.m. Wednesdays, aim to restore postural alignment and strengthen weak areas of the body. “Because most people spend most of the day sitting at desks, in cars and on the couch, many of the
muscles that they need for good posture are weak,” Swift says. “These weaknesses build up and one day someone’s carrying a heavy box and their back just ‘goes out.’ But that box was just the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.” Swift says that posture and alignment are major factors in common chronic injuries, such as pain in the low back, neck, knees and feet, and that working on proper alignment can prevent injuries in the future. The movement classes are presented in a low-key, no-sweat style. “This isn’t power yoga,” says Swift. “It’s movement that’s accessible to anyone.” CommonWealth Center for Herbal Medicine also will resume its popular Charles River Herb Walks in May and host an open house reception.
CommonWealth Center for Herbal Medicine is located at 25 St. Mary’s Ct., Brook- line. For more information, call 617-750-5274 or visit
