In summary

The first level of instruction presents the full scope of the reasoning and observations contained in the first 70 Aphorisms of the Organon. Its aim is literally to learn how to learn. The point here is to make it clear that homeopathy is not just one option, but the only rational way to prescribe medicinal substances.
To take part, you’ll need: intelligence, curiosity, an open mind and common sense. This course enables anyone – even those who are not doctors or have no scientific training – to discover what the term ‘homeopathy’ really means.
Warning: the content is highly addictive, and usually the whole family gets hooked!

The clinical approach (±10 hours)

We’re going to start by gently getting to grips with clinical reality. Through around ten clinical cases, you’ll discover… how we go about investigating a case! Dr Broussalian will also be commenting on clinical cases published by the great Adolf Lippe.

Materia Medica (approx. 14 hours)

To begin with, you need to know about a few medicines – the ones you’d take with you if you had to live on a desert island.
How do you use homeopathic remedies? Pulsatilla, Nux vomica, Gelsemium and Ignatia make up this first group of essential remedies. These are complemented by remedies for traumatic injuries to help you manage everyday niggles.

History of homeopathy (approx. 6½ hours)

Just as one cannot conceive of a tree without roots, it is impossible to become a homeopath without a basic understanding of its history. In a ‘fiery’ partnership with Dr Bruno Laborier, Edouard Broussalian will take you on a journey through Hahnemann’s early steps in his discovery of the New Principle.

Who is Dr Edouard Broussalian?

Born in 1962, he studied, on his own, the Organon and Kent’s Repertory at the age of 15 and benefited from the experience of his father Georges, himself a direct pupil of Dr Pierre Schmidt, a master homeopath from Geneva, who had travelled to the USA as early as 1922 to study with Kent’s disciples.
Throughout his medical studies at the Faculty of Medicine in Grenoble, he continued to prescribe medication for healthcare staff and their families. Once he became a junior doctor, he achieved remarkable results in the psychiatry department, where he cut his teeth. He then went on to achieve astonishing results in various departments across the hospital, which sometimes got him into trouble.
He moved to Annecy in 1989 and has been practising extensively ever since. To date, he has treated more than 130,000 patients.
He wrote works that would soon become standard references, such as his first complete translation of Kent’s Repertory, as well as numerous articles.
When asked ‘Why Edouard Broussalian?’, his students reply: it is largely because of his human qualities – his kindness, generosity, willingness to share, rigour and accuracy – which are evident at every level of his teaching.

What format do the online courses take?

The course videos are available on an online platform.

Is the IHS school accredited by state bodies?

Our school is too committed, too wholehearted, to be recognised by the academic community and public institutions.

Testimonials

The most reputable and high-quality school
After a disappointing experience with another homeopathy course, I was lucky enough to discover Dr Édouard Broussalian on YouTube. That was in 2018, and it marked a real turning point. I immediately began his course by joining the school, and from the very first few weeks, the International Homeopathic School (formerly Planète Homéopathie) struck me as the most reputable and high-quality school in the French-speaking world.
What fundamentally sets this course apart is its commitment to PURE Homeopathy. To my knowledge, it is the only school that encourages us to study Samuel Hahnemann’s *Organon of the Art of Healing* in depth. The teaching is based on the original doctrine and scrupulously follows the Master’s writings, as practised by the leading figures in 20th-century homeopathy. Furthermore, a wealth of clinical cases enriches the learning experience, bringing the whole course to life.
Dr Broussalian is an outstanding teacher. His knowledge and experience are vast, and he conveys them with rare clarity and passion. Here, we do not merely skim the surface of homeopathy: we delve into its most fundamental and effective principles.
If you are looking for a school that will introduce you to true homeopathy, without compromise or modern deviations, you are making the right choice by joining the IHS.
As far as I’m concerned, this course has been a real game-changer in my life!
Christophe R. (France)

My belief regarding the future of homeopathy is as follows:
We need to teach ordinary people how to treat everyday niggles – such as colds, flu, coughs, bronchitis and the early stages of sinusitis – using homeopathy, so that the demand on GPs comes from the grassroots.
In the 1970s, there was a journal called *Les annales homéopathiques* which described either a polychrest or the symptoms of a disease and how to treat it.
I think a magazine aimed at the general public would be a much better option, especially as it could be sent by email – that would be easy.
I sincerely hope that your school will be a success. And that lots of homeopathic doctors will spring up among your students.
I’ve given up hope of finding one in my area, around Romans-sur-Isère in the Drôme.
I wish you all the very best for the coming year.

You can’t understand homeopathy until you’ve studied it!
That’s the thought that occurred to me as I finished the final modules, whilst reflecting on what I knew about the subject before starting my course. Studying the text of the monumental work bequeathed by its creator – the Organon – feels like both an obstacle course and a genuine initiation. Homeopathy cannot be fully grasped by a superficial observer! In an age of crash courses, it is both a pleasure and a valuable learning experience to study over three or four years, moving through concentric circles of integration, covering both the laws and principles and the materia medica. A solid foundation for solid results. Thank you to Édouard Broussalian for his teaching skills, which bring the subject to life, and for his warm and approachable manner during the seminars.

Clinical Classes
I am writing to thank Dr Edouard for his generosity and for the quality of what he shared with us during these meetings. .
I’d also like to thank the whole team for making these meetings possible!
What did I gain from this course? Through the various clinical cases discussed by the doctor, my curiosity and my keen interest in the art of healing were fully satisfied. .
It’s brilliant to be able to follow the doctor’s questions and observations, as well as the patients’ contributions, so closely.
I have had some deeply human and highly educational encounters.
Clinical classes have become a real addiction for me. Taking these classes encourages me to take my learning to the next level. .
