| | ET 10/97: Anthroposophic medicine: letting your body work for you |
 | | Anthroposophic medicine is an extension of conventional Western medicine developed in the 1920s by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist, educator, artist and philosopher, in conjunction with European physicians (Steiner also founded Waldorf education). |
 | | In anthroposophic medicine, health results not from the absence of illness, as in conventional medicine, but from a good balance between the head (which has a cooling, contracting, forming energy) and the body's lower region, which includes most of the internal organs and has a warming, expanding, dissolving energy. |
 | | In European countries there are thousands of such practitioners, plus several hospitals in Germany and Switzerland devoted exclusively to anthroposophic medicine. |
