“
Homeopathy is a form of Alternative Medicine that is Holistic, scientifically based, practiced as a profession since the 1800’s, and in the United States since 1820. It is the second most common form of Alternative Medicine in the America’s today.

The projected growth of Holistic Healthcare and Homeopathy from 2008 – 2018 are both expected to have an average growth of 7% – 13%. We believe that the proposed Homeopathy 100-Hour Certificate that Holistic Health Care and Homeopathy is taking nationally. Did you know that:
- Americans now spend nearly one trillion dollars on alternative medicine and wellness per year.
- 34 of the nation’s medical schools have added alternative medicine to their curricula.

The public has embraced the usage of Alternative Medicine and are seeking out practitioners, mainly due to the low relative cost. A study was done in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993, which showed that one-third of Americans routinely used alternative medicine, paying for it out-of-pocket to an average of $600 – $700 per year! A recent update to this study showed this figure is now up to 40% with 90% of these individuals not telling their physicians of this practice.
