Please meet Mary Jane Seacole (1805-1881) a heroine Jamaican nurse and a strong advocate of Homeopathy. Mary├óÔé¼Ôäós mother was a Homeopath too!

When the Crimean War broke out she traveled to London and applied to go to Crimea to help the wounded soldiers. However because of her race she was not granted an interview. She then went on her own project and in 1856 established the British Hotel near Balaclava at her own expense. Mary provided comfortable housing for the sick and often went to the battlefield to attend to the wounded people.

Peace be upon her, Iman
