an international medical movement celebrating a century of holistic care.
Anthroposophic Medicine
Anthroposophic Medicine brings deeper insights to the care of the whole human being. It is practiced by conventionally-trained physicians, NP’s and PA’s, who have undergone additional specialized training, learning to apply a broad array of effective natural medicines. This whole-person approach also incorporates art, music, movement and massage therapies as elements of collaborative, multidisciplinary health care.
Founded in central Europe nearly a century ago, Anthroposophic Medicine is now integrated into acute-care hospitals, specialty treatment centers, and university teaching and research programs. Here in the United States, Anthroposophic Medicine has been successfully integrated into centers for chronic illness care and elder care, as well as a large variety of medical practices. Trainings in Anthroposophic Medicine are offered for health professionals in thirty-two countries on five continents. With deep roots and broad applications, Anthroposophic Medicine works to bring health and wholeness into modern life.
What makes this form of integrative practice unique?
Anthroposophic insights offer:
Integrative insights and language for an expanded understanding of illness
A science of observation for finding new therapeutic tools
Groundbreaking research demonstrating safety, efficacy and new pathways for treatment
The recognition that medicine is a journey—personal, professional and spiritual
