Support your Homeopathic constitutional treatment and speed your healing by taking care of yourself, especially in the months when we are most likely to neglect self care due to low light, short days and the increase in demands on our time.

At Ming Dinh Homeopathy we look at the big picture of health. We help you deal with the things that maintain illness in an holistic and sensitive way. We want you to be well. We do what it takes to get you there.

Homeopathic constitutional treatment can offer immune system support during stressful times and times when our children and ourselves may not be getting the time, light or rest that is optimal to good health.

See your homeopathic practitioner today, before  the dark days of fall and winter take their toll and maybe this year you will power through the days with vitality and energy.

Ayurvedic Nutrition with Ocean

“You are what you eat.” This adage is the foundation of Ayurvedic nutrition and well-being. In this ancient Indian healing art, everything we eat has an effect on us and we can guide our own health through choosing the right foods for us. Ayurvedic nutrition recognizes that different people have different bodies and constitutions and therefore need to eat different kinds of foods. In this workshop, you will learn about the 5 elements and how this knowledge will help you choose the right food for you and your loved ones as well as how to balance changes in your health, the environment and the seasons. Balancing your diet according to your personal needs reduces stress on your nervous system so that your body can better function on a day-to-day basis. Enjoy better health and a longer life with foods that are meant for you!

Meditation and Tools for Self-care with Kelly Gordon

This workshop is for those who want to learn how to stimulate the body’s own natural healing abilities with energy-based movement and meditation. We will focus on two basic principles from Energy Work, grounding and centering, with developing your kinesthetic sense of energy. Experience an introduction into blending energy work with mindfulness meditation, learn more about your nervous system and gain new tools to help you deepen your yoga, dance or bodywork practice.

Explore the benefits of the healing art of homeopathy with Isabel Johnston & Ming Dinh

Homeopathy is a powerful healing system that is uniquely able to restore health and well-being by correcting the energetic imbalance that lies at the core of all illness. This workshop will provide you with a basic understanding of health and disease from a holistic perspective. Discover how constitutional treatment by a homeopath can stimulate your body’s own defense mechanism, and how homeopathic remedies treat the individual person rather than the disease. Learn how homeopathy can be used effectively as a means of self-care at home for yourself and your family. You will leave with simple first aid and acute remedy knowledge, and a homeopathic first aid remedy to be added to your own kit.

* Homeopathic first aid kits ($75.00) and guided movement and meditation CD’s will be available for purchase at the event!

The World Travellers’ Manual of Homeopathy By Dr. Colin B. LESSELL, (available at Whole Health Now: http://www.wholehealthnow.com/books/travellers-manual.html) is an excellent resource for this preparatory stage. It covers a range of conditions that the traveler can be subjected to, from the usual travel sickness, jet-lag and accidents, to infections from bacteria, viruses, parasites, bites, stings, poisonings, etc. There is a special section for women, which includes advice for the pregnant traveler, and even a section at the end of the book that evaluates the quality of water in various regions of the world.

Dr. Lessell spent 5 years preparing this book and the result is a manual that is almost encyclopedic in its scope. It tries to be comprehensive in the multitude of ways in which you could get stung, poisoned, parasitized, bitten, injured, envenomed, infected and infested in the course of travels around the globe. For example, in his chapter on diseases of the skin, he covers windburn, boils, carbuncles, cold sores, impetigo, intertrigo, Dhobi’s itch, ringworm, scalp ringworm, Pityriasis versicolor, surfer’s ear, scabies, louse infestation, human maggot infestation, sandworm infestation, swimmer’s itch, blister beetles, shellfish urticaria, poison ivy rash, stinging tree rash, nettle stings, algae dermatitis, and tropical wood dermatitis.

Aside from vivid descriptions of the conditions you need to be concerned about, he includes commonsense advice on how to avoid getting ill, supportive treatment, when to seek medical advice, and suggestions on homeopathic treatment. This book is an eye opener for the layperson who may have no idea of the myriad things that can befall an unwary traveler when traveling abroad, and a useful reference for the practitioner. It is well worth the time to read up on the areas to which you will be traveling, and to assemble a homeopathic kit specific to the conditions to be found there, as an addition to your regular travel kit.
