Tony brings more than thirty years of experience to a thoughtful conversation about what makes homeopathy both enduring and effective. Drawing from his own journey into the profession, he reflects on the mentors, historical moments, and educational developments that shaped homeopathy in the UK while making the case for keeping its core principles simple and accessible. We also explore different prescribing approaches, the role of awareness in healing, and why understanding the character of each remedy matters more than getting lost in complicated theories. Tony closes by sharing the materia medica resources he values most and encouraging practitioners to build a strong foundation in the essentials of homeopathy.
