That way, it will be difficult for you to be caught by surprise with an unexpected illness, as you will be offering quality food with frequent monitoring. Think about it!

Anthroposophical Medicine emerged in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, based on the image of man brought by Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925). The pioneer of this work was the physician Ita Wegman (1874 – 1943), who, based on dialogues with Rudolf Steiner, developed the foundations of a new medical art, indicating medications and therapies for various diseases.

The principles of anthroposophic medicine are based on research carried out by Dr. Rudolf Steiner and Dr. Ita Wegman, making these results systematically applicable in medicine. The therapeutic thrust of Anthroposophy seeks harmony between the spirit, soul and body, also providing the understanding of man in his relationships with the cosmos and the different kingdoms of nature.

The treatments are based on the knowledge of man’s specific relationships with the mineral, plant and animal worlds, which makes it possible to use elements from these kingdoms or to develop new medicines based on this knowledge.
