In this seminar, Dr. Sunil will teach the method so that you can feel confident in your understanding and application in a child's case that has taken prescribing to a whole new level. Practitioners around the world are having incredible results in their cases and you can join them!!

 

Prescribing for children is a challenging and yet a fascinating experience. Children often do not have the verbal proficiency that we rely on adults. Consequent to his work with young patients, Dr. Sunil observes, recognizes and places valuable behavioral hints in their true perspective. Every act or gesture the child performs is like an actor who draws your attention to his inherent characteristics. Dr. Anand's method will help us to comprehend childhood states which can be essential in the adult cases as well.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from a master teacher and your practice is guaranteed to improve as a result!!

Testimonials:

"I learned so much studying with Sunil about the art of taking children's cases and understanding the unique quality of each child's state. He is a wonderful teacher." Jo Daly CCH

Linda Johnston quotes in her book "The Child's World-New approaches to the homeopathic treatment of children"

"Around the time we heard about Dr Anand, we had reached the nadir of our long 3 year struggle with our son's challenges due to chronic GI issues, anxiety/panic attacks and severe impairment from autism. Under his care, my son's anxiety attacks ceased, and his bowel consistency improved significantly. Till a few months ago, this was simply unimaginable!  Working with Dr Anand has been a delight not only due to the results we have seen so far, but also for his communicative style and prompt follow-ups.  We are incredibly fortunate to have found Dr Anand, and believe that his continued homeopathic care will be an essential part of healing our son's remaining health and developmental challenges.".......Sarika Agrawal

Sensation method is a neo-classical approach to Homoeopathy and helps a Homeopath to add value to his prescriptions by understanding the "deeper underlying sensation that is far beyond a conscious human experience which is shared with animals, plants and minerals and everything in the universe".
