The Wellness Way Camilla Sherr | The Finnish Society of Homoeopathy
Today’s guest is the truly astonishing and mind-blowing Camilla Sherr, who is the President of the Finnish Society of Homeopaths. She joins Philly on The Wellness Way to talk all about her work in homoeopathy and to tell us about Homoeopathy for Health in Africa, an NGO that Camilla co-founded to treat HIV and AIDS in Tanzania and East Africa.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- From an early age, Camilla wanted to understand the connection between the mind and our body getting sick. If stress can cause a stomach ulcer, there is very little point in taking anti-acid medication, the stress itself isn’t healed.
- In 2008 Camilla co-founded Homeopathy for Health in Africa to offer low-cost homoeopathic healthcare in Tanzania and East Africa. Today HHA has 19 clinics, offers basic homoeopathic training to remote areas and is helping over 20,000 local people.
- Homoeopathy is used by over 500 million people worldwide. It’s the second most used medicine in the world. Switzerland has recently incorporated homoeopathy into their healthcare system due to public demand and reports of its efficacy. It is used by the British Royal family and many athletes, including David Beckham, Usain Bolt and the whole German football team.
- Homoeopathic treatment is based on four basic principles: 1) Like cures like - what can cause, can cure.
- 2) Individuality - not every person with the same disease gets the same remedy, people are different.
- 3) Totality - treating the whole person.
- 4) Minimum dose - using nanoparticles, not crude substances.
- Homoeopathic remedies are produced by a special technique of dilution and succession.

ABOUT THE GUEST
“Homoeopathy is my vocation and my passion. I graduated from The Finnish Institute of Homeopathy 23 years ago and I have never looked back. From an early age I wanted to understand the connection between the mind and our body getting sick. For example, if stress can cause a stomach ulcer, there is very little point in taking anti-acid medication, the stress itself isn’t healed.
I studied homoeopathy for three years in Finland, which is my native country, and later on, moved to London for another two years of postgraduate studies. I lived in the UK for almost ten years, and have lived in Israel and Tanzania, East Africa since then.
Perhaps the biggest influence on my homoeopathy and life has been living in Tanzania, where my husband Jeremy and I founded ‘Homeopathy for Health in Africa – an NGO designed to treat HIV/AIDS with homoeopathy. This experience has been life-changing in more ways than one and I’m very proud of our achievements. You can read more on www.homeopathyforhealthinafrica.org
In 2016 I was awarded a Fellowship from the Society of Homeopaths in the UK (FSHom) for my work in Africa. Apart from homoeopathy, I enjoy photography, making pottery and skiing. I’m married to Jeremy and we have three children together.”
