The Bush Homeopaths are UK based qualified homeopaths that are assisting a number of Gambian communities to improve their health through homeopathic treatment. We have been operating in several locations on both sides of the Gambia river.
Our vision statement:
We envision a future in which homeopathy will be recognised as an integral part of the Gambian healthcare system. The Bush Homeopaths' foremost objective is the relief and prevention of disease whilst working in co-operation with local communities. Our vision encompasses making homeopathy available to all communities as an affordable and valid form of health treatment. We aim to offer homeopathic training to the Gambians with help and sponsorship through the Centre of Homeopathic Education, the UK's largest homeopathic college. We recognise that every system of medicine has its strengths and respect the significant contribution of conventional medicine in health care provision. We aim to promote the best that homeopathy has to offer as an alternative and complementary health system.
Testimonials
Catja Thum:
Going to The Gambia, the smiling coast of West Africa, with the Bush Homeopaths was an amazing experience. Ever since I listened to Sameena's presentation in my first year at CHE, I felt inspired to be part of it. Treating 500 people in only a week's time, means it is a full-on, hands-on and Materia- Medica-keynote trip. It is rewarding but also very humbling, my learning curve adapted to a very steep slope. Seeing how people cope without electricity or running water and seeing how grateful they are for our help, makes every effort worthwhile and you feel you want to come back again.
C.F.:
Travelling for a week as a member of the mobile homeopathy clinic in The Gambia is truly an experience not to be missed. The positive response from the Gambians was overwhelming - and you really do see homeopathy in action. I will treasure the memories of a sea of smiling faces, the fascinating scenery and the camaraderie of my fellow Bush Homeopaths and their helpers.
