Sollievo Massage and Bodywork in North Cambridge will present a free homeopathy seminar on January 29 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Practitioner Heather Budd will lead the seminar to help participants change their ideas about symptoms and disease, understand the difference between acute and chronic illness, learn about home remedies and strengthen their immune systems by managing areas of susceptibility.
“Heather’s presentation will allow people to better understand homeopathy,” says Sollievo co-owner Laura Barricelli. “It will give them insight into what homeopathy is and where, if they are interested, they can find a homeopathic practitioner.”

Barricelli says that homeopathy is a holistic, person-centered method of healing that, as in eastern medicine, addresses disharmony at the physical, mental and energetic levels. Homeopathy also harnesses the medicinal properties of flora, fauna and mineral substances from all over the world. Budd, who practices homeopathy in Cambridge, has helped clients with injuries, common colds, allergies, Lyme disease, ADD/ADHD, depression and women’s health issues. She and fellow homeopaths published a book of success stories called Homeopathy: Stories of Healing.
