Anthroposophical medicine tailors special
therapies according to the individual needs of patients
searching for a natural, non-invasive therapeutic approach
in order to assist them to regain their natural equilibrium
of bodily functions, which - according to the holistic
approach this unique system of medicine - means health.
Anthroposophical medicine supports
psychosomatic-psychotherapeutic treatment by means of a
broad range of special therapies and remedies.
Complementing the traditional catalogue of therapeutic means
in the field of psychosomatic diseases and “classical”
psychotherapy, specific Anthroposophical modes of therapy
include Music Therapy, Massage Therapy and curative
“Eurythmy” – a system of dance-like, harmonious movements of
the body, comparable to Chinese “Qi Gong”.
Following in this respect similar principles as Homeopathy,
Anthroposophical medicinal therapy uses a broad range of
remedies with ingredients of plant, mineral and animal
origin.
Anthroposophical Medicine is especially effective as a
complement to acute medicine and as a replenishment of
therapeutic means in the intensive care of patients.
As a unique feature, the Anthroposophical
“Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Herdecke” also offers special
paediatric Anthroposophical therapies.
