Anthroposophic Medicine from a patient’s perspective

A description of Anthroposophic Medicine from a patient’s perspective.

Anthroposophic healthcare is health care

Anthroposophic healthcare is a useful addition to regular healthcare, with which it maintains numerous connections. You do not have to share the methodological background of doctors and therapists to benefit from it; anthroposophic medicine works equally well with people who know nothing about it.

Anthroposophic medicine looks differently at illness and treatment. There is a lot of attention for preventing and understanding illness as an integral part of life, and its meaning for the human being as a whole, as well as special emphasis on supporting the self-healing capacity of the body. For many people, this is a reason to consciously opt for anthroposophic healthcare and medicine.
