Members of the Royal Family are well educated and have access to the best medical care in the world.
What did they choose as part of an integrative approach to wellness during long, healthy lives?
Homeopathy.
Thank you, Queen Elizabeth II for your longtime support and promotion of Homeopathy.
The Queen did not stand alone
In fact, the British Royal Family has a long history of using homeopathy for themselves and their animals starting in 1835, as excerpted from www.homepathicfamilymedicine.com:
The British Royal Family has had a longtime and deep appreciation for homeopathic medicine, ever since Queen Adelaide (1792–1849), wife of King William IV, first made public her special interest in this “new medicine” in 1835.
Other British aristocrats shared the queen’s interests, including the Marquess of Anglesey who crossed the British Channel to go to Paris for treatment by the founder of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.
Homeopathic Cure
Queen Adelaide had been suffering from a serious malady that the court physicians couldn’t cure. The queen called for the services of one of Hahnemann’s oldest and most faithful colleagues, Dr. Johann Ernst Stapf (1788–1860), who cured her, creating the first of many supporters of homeopathy from British royalty.
The British homeopath to the titled Marquess of Anglesey, Dr. Harris Dunsford (1808–1847), wrote a book on homeopathy that was dedicated, with permission, to Queen Adelaide (Dunsford, 1842). This dedication made public her interest in and her appreciation for homeopathy.
She was instrumental in helping to establish homeopathy’s early popularity, especially among the upper classes in England.
Various kings and queens of Great Britain since Queen Adelaide have openly sought medical care from homeopathic physicians.
Practical Treatment
Princess May, who later became Queen Mary (1865–1953), wife of King George V, headed the fundraising efforts to move and expand the London Homeopathic Hospital.
King George V (1865–1936) was appreciative of homeopathy because it provided him with the real practical benefit of treating his seasickness whenever he suffered from it.
King Edward VII (1841–1910) carried on the homeopathic tradition and was a close drinking and eating partner of Dr. Frederick Hervey Foster Quin (1799–1878), the first British physician to become a homeopath.
Edward’s daughter, Maud (1869–1938), married King Haakon VII of Norway, and both sought the homeopathic care of Sir John Weir, MD.
King Edward VIII (1894–1972), known as Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, after his abdication in 1936, carried his homeopathic medicines in powder doses in his pocket.
His brother, King George VI (1895–1952), also had a special love for homeopathy. He even named one of his prize racehorses Hypericum, after a homeopathic medicine for injuries. He was known to be an expert user of homeopathic medicine himself, and he formally granted the use of the royal title to the London Homeopathic Hospital, now called the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital.
Patron of British Homeopathic Association
Until her death, Her Majesty the Queen Mother (1900-2002), was the principal royal patron of the British Homeopathic Association.
Living until age 101, the Queen Mother is the second longest-living British Royal, the first being Princess Alice (1901-2004), daughter-in-law of Queen Mary and King George V – both ardent homeopathy influencers of their time.
Homeopathy everywhere she went
And as for Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), in addition to bringing her leather homeopathic remedy case with her on travels, her doctor for a decade and a half was homeopathic physician, Dr. Peter Fisher.
Dr. Fisher was Director of Research at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, Europe’s largest center for integrative medicine. Dr. Fisher’s work inspired the National Center for Homeopathy to create an award honoring him after his death in 2018. The NCH award acknowledges the work of current researchers in homeopathy.
National Center for Homeopathy
And thank you, National Center for Homeopathy (NCH), for reminding me of this. The above excerpt from Dr. Ulman’s book is from an email I got from them.
The National Center for Homeopathy provides homeopathic education so homeopathy can change lives.
NCH membership gives you homeopathic education resources so that you can learn to use this powerful form of medicine for yourself and your family.
I am a member because it also advocates for access to homeopathy as an effective and affordable system of medicine.
Has using homeopathy changed your life? How?
