What is Anthroposophical Medicine?

Anthroposophical Medicine is a holistic extension of conventional medicine and is used in conjunction with it. It employs modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods and complements these with medicines, artistic therapies, counselling and physical therapies. It activates the individual's self-healing powers and shows them how they can take responsibility for their own health. Anthroposophical Medicine is thus a salutogenic method, that is a therapeutic system which is aimed at maintaining and restoring health and not merely at the elimination of disease or its symptoms.
