Teleconference held on March 17, 2010.
Our Presenter: Jade Shutes, B.A. Dipl. AT
Topic: Hyperthyroidism and Self Care: An Integrative Approach
About the Teleconference:
According to a 2009 report entitled “Self-care in the Context of Primary Health Care” by the World Health Organization, ‘self care is an integral part of primary health care and the promotion of self-care is an educational and empowering process that ensures that people with the right information can make the right decision as far as their own health is concerned’.
As aromatherapy practitioners and educators we are sometimes called upon to put our beliefs and knowledge into personal practice in healing and often it is through this personal practice that we affirm our own passion and commitment to holistic medicine.
This lecture is designed to provide you with:
1. 6 steps of Healing as outlined and expounded upon by herbalist Susan Weed
2. An understanding of the dynamics of hyperthyroidism
3. An understanding of how to utilize various modalities in treating an illness such as hyperthyroidism based upon an integrative self care approach
4. The value and importance of self care in healthcare
