Episode 87: Sharing Her Ainsworth Working Experience with Nour Azem

Episode Description:

In this episode of the Homeopathy 247 podcast, host Mary Greensmith chats with Nour Azem, a homeopath who shares her fascinating journey working at the famous Ainsworths Homeopathic Pharmacy in London. They dive into the behind-the-scenes world of Ainsworths, the excitement of daily life there, and how homeopathy continues to grow globally.

Getting Started with Ainsworths

Nour recalls how she first discovered Ainsworths while living nearby. At first, she didn’t know much about homeopathy, but once she started learning, her visits to the pharmacy became much more meaningful. After training as a homeopath, she eventually joined the Ainsworths team — a dream come true!

What It’s Like Working at Ainsworths

Life at Ainsworths was very busy and varied. Nour shared how she worked:

• On the shop floor helping customers find remedies.
• On the advice line answering health queries.
• Preparing remedies based on prescriptions from doctors and vets.

The environment was lively, educational, and full of opportunities to keep learning every day.

Learning from the Experts

One of the highlights of working at Ainsworths was being around Tony Pinkus, the passionate and knowledgeable owner. Tony regularly spent time in the pharmacy, sharing stories, answering questions, and inspiring the team with his expertise — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he helped create remedies to support people’s health.

Meeting People and Learning More

Nour loved the chance to meet a wide variety of people, including doctors, vets, farmers, and even celebrities!

One memorable moment was seeing the Queen’s own homeopathic kit being updated — a reminder of how deeply homeopathy is rooted in British history and supported by the royal family.

Ainsworths: A Hub of Discovery

Because Ainsworths is a High Street pharmacy, many people walked in without even knowing it specialized in homeopathy. Some were pleasantly surprised to discover natural options for their health issues, leading to new regular customers who fell in love with homeopathy.

Nour highlighted how Ainsworths works closely with nearby conventional pharmacies and doctors, showing that homeopathy can complement mainstream medicine beautifully.

Growing Homeopathy Around the World

Towards the end, Nour shared her exciting new project: a Homeopathy in Arabic group.

As a Syrian living in the UK, she saw a growing interest in homeopathy in the Middle East and decided to create a resource to help Arabic speakers learn more and access homeopathic support.
