human being in terms of physical, emotional and spiritual health.

and parents to promote the healthy physical, emotional and mental development of children.

The Anthroposophical approach to potentizing uses a rhythmical rocking motion that is aligned with the natural biorhythms of the human body and the universal cosmic rhythms that influence the earth. Preparation of metals, minerals, animal and plant substances is based upon the ancient wisdom of alchemy but brought into a new understanding of contemporary science through ongoing research. The healing substances are combined like a musical composition, where each tone and interval is integral to creating a harmonious effect. The remedy then “resonates” with the internal milieu of the human body to provide the healing impulses that overcome illness and stimulate immunity.
Biodynamically grown and wild harvested herbs are used in making Anthroposophic medicines. Fresh plant tinctures are made from herbs that are picked at the right time of the year and at the right time of the day to ensure that their vitality is retained. A special area of Anthroposophic herbal medicine is dedicated to the “Doron” remedies, which were developed by Rudolf Steiner. The name means “Gift” and provides a tonic effect to specific organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, etc
. Their indication is to support and nourish the natural functions of these organs and prevent degeneration.
Biodynamic Nutrition
Understanding the healing virtue of biodynamic nutrition is an important asset during different phases of life and during illness. Different foods and ways of preparation need to be understood and implemented as part of a therapeutic plan. Each individual digests and assimilates nutrition differently, according to temperament and constitution. Therefore, nutritional guidelines need to be developed individually for each patient so that the ability to absorb and benefit from food is achieved.
This progressive and common sense approach to healing integrates different aspects of conventional medicine with ancient eastern and western philosophies and homoeopathic principles. It is gaining much recognition in the field of therapeutic medicine, where importance is placed upon effective convalescent care through nursing and other therapeutic modalities that aim to encourage not only physical well-being but also emotional and spiritual health. As a result, the patient suffering from chronic illness can experience dignity and a sense of meaningfulness along with alleviation from distressing symptoms through the support of the therapeutic team and carefully chosen remedies.
