Welcome and thank you for listening! In this episode, we sit down with Ian Wheeler, the founder of Pegasus Homeopathics, to demystify the world of homeopathy and explore its safe and effective use during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Ian shares his fascinating journey from a traditional pharmacist to a pioneer in the field of homeopathic medicine. For over 30 years, he owned and operated pharmacies, but a growing interest in natural and holistic healing led him to study homeopathy. After a three-year course, he realized that people needed a simple, accessible way to use homeopathic remedies. This realization led him to create Pegasus Homeopathics and the iconic Pegasus Bluebox Kit™. The Bluebox was designed to be a comprehensive, easy-to-use solution for the whole family, including infants, pregnant women, and the elderly. Ian's goal was to show that using homeopathic medicine doesn't have to be complicated. Following the success of the Bluebox, Ian expanded the Pegasus line with the Maternity/Labour Kit, specifically designed to support mothers-to-be, as well as a range of remedies for pets. His work is guided by the philosophy of combining different modalities—herbology, homeopathy, and nutricology—to create holistic, natural protocols. Join us as Ian explains what homeopathy is, how it works, and how his unique kits make it accessible for everyone. About Ian Wheeler Ian Wheeler (B. Pharm, Rhodes 1981) has been a practicing pharmacist for over 30 years. After a decade in retail pharmacy, he sold his business and embarked on a transatlantic sailing adventure. He later returned to Cape Town to establish his own pharmacy, where he began his deep dive into homeopathy, studying under renowned homeopath Dr. Ruth Bloch. In 2000, he founded Steps to Health Pharmacy, focusing on natural and complementary medicine, which further cemented his belief in holistic healing. It was here that the concept for the Pegasus Bluebox Kit™ was born. Today, Ian has sold his retail business to dedicate himself full-time to Pegasus Homeopathics, continuing to develop new protocols and remedies to make natural healing accessible to all.
