INFORMATION ABOUT ANTHROPOSOPHIC MEDICINE

Anthroposophic medicine is an integrative concept for diagnosis and therapy. It combines natural science-based academic medicine with Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy (1861-1925) and is practiced today in over 60 countries.

The direct reference to the essence of the human being and his or her mental and spiritual needs focuses this form of medicine on the patient and relates it closely to life. Anthroposophic physicians undergo the ordinary general and specialist medical training and supplement it with the study of the anthroposophical image of the human being and the world. Great value is placed on informing the patient comprehensively about his or her condition and involving him or her as far as possible actively in the recovery process. Anthroposophic medicines can be taken internally, used in the form of subcutaneous or intravenous injections, or in the form of wraps, embrocations, and partial and full baths. Therapeutic eurythmy, rhythmical massage, art therapies as well as a preventative concept which includes education and self-education make anthroposophic medicine a comprehensive medical system.
