  • About

    Anthroposophic Medicine is a holistic approach to the art and science of medical practice. ''Anthroposophy'' literally means wisdom (sophia) of the human being (anthropos). All anthroposophic physicians are medically licensed by the states in which they practice. Each is guided by the premise that the human organism in its totality contains all that is to be found in the surrounding world. The practitioner views the patient as an individual human being who is striving to balance physical substance, life processes and psychological dynamics. To this end the physician offers or prescribes ''a help'' consistent with the individual's intention, recognizing its wisdom. In this way, anthroposophic medicine extends and complements conventional medicine. Anthroposophy's founder, Rudolf Steiner, Ph.D., in collaboration with Ita Wegman, M.D., characterized all education as healing and all healing as educational. The journey through illness to health is a path of self-education.
