"I had to write and thank you for a
such a super few days - being a sports physio I have attended
hundreds of courses and have come away so upset sometimes when
the lecturers have been awful - not just me but others on the
courses too! But your attitude was lovely and you were so kind
and patient it has restored my faith in courses and I so look
forward to coming to more!!!"

Course Contents:
The day begins with an overview of the different ways to cure or help clients with psoriasis. Based upon Kolbjorn’s work with Lily Johansson in Sweden, he will guide students through the different aspects that form an holistic approach to help psoriasis sufferers. The discussion covers the acid/alkaline diet that was very successful at Lily Johansson’s complementary hospital in Sweden for those suffering with psoriasis. Students receive the full table of which food item is acid or alkaline as well as recipe brochures for making alkaline dishes. This session also covers the different treatments such as fasting, herbal baths, herbal teas, tea tree treatments, mineral treatments on the skin, poultices, compresses and skin care creams with beneficial active ingredients added to them. Kolbjorn will also demonstrate using a poultice on one of the students.
NOTE: Before learning how to make a product Kolbjorn
will discuss the benefits of the product and demonstrate the
exact utensils and raw materials required. ALL raw materials
and utensils are provided and students usually work in groups
of 4 per table. A printed hand-out of the recipe and technique
is also given to each student at the beginning of every demonstration.
This enables the student to focus upon the 'hands-on' aspect
of the session and ensures that each participant leaves with
a complete set of notes and recipes for future reference.

After a break Kolbjorn will demonstrate how to
make two types of psoriasis creams (one with herbs). Students
will then make the creams and receive a full recipe description and
method for making over 30 preparations for baths, compresses etc.
After lunch students have the opportunity to make foot creams and can start to experiment with using colours in the cream. To accompany
this practical session students are given a special recipe brochure
for foot products including foot creams, gels and foot baths.
In the final practical session of the day participants make deodorants using natural raw materials followed by a cellulite gel which is combined with various raw materials to create different cellulite treatments.
The day is completed with a Questions & Answers session and the handing out of certificates.
