Was ist anthroposophische Medizin?

Anthroposophical medicine is an integrative medical system that combines conventional medical practices with the spiritual understanding of humanity and nature found in anthroposophy. It is characterized by its development-oriented approach, where the patient and their history are at the center, as well as by the social therapeutic commitment it embodies. Michaela Glöckler describes the current status of the dissemination of this therapeutic direction and its diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum. Her aim is to raise awareness of the social dimension of illness and health, address questions of fate, and highlight what individuals can do for their own health and that of their fellow human beings. This has resulted in an informational document that also clarifies why a pluralism of scientific methods and therapeutic freedom are important for further development.
