Anthroposophical Medicine -Austrian -
Rudolf Steiner, founded the philosophy of Anthroposophical Medicine in the early 1900's. Steiner's aim was to complement and
develop medicine as it existed, rather than set up an alternative system. Together with Dr Ita Wegman, he developed his ideas
to include a medical science, as well as his own principle of polarity.
The
Seven Principles of Anthroposophical Medicine

manifests both within the human organism and outside of it in the substances of the kingdoms of nature.
The
wisdom that created nature is also at work within the human being.
Anthroposophical
Medicine is a leading holistic health movement throughout Europe and has been on the cutting edge of preserving therapeutic freedom in the public and legal
realm.
Man
has a divinely guided individual destiny, which includes individual freedom with the potential for error and illness.
Art
is an indispensable part of human life. Out of AM, specialized disciplines of Therapeutic Eurythmy, Rhythmical Massage, clay
modeling, painting and music therapy have evolved.
Remedies
are derived from substances of the mineral, plant or animal kingdom. They can be prepared homeopathically, alchemically or
as whole substance. They can be given orally, by injection or through external application.
Every
treatment aims to enhance the life force of the patient as an axis for improved health and deepened self-knowledge.
