Anthroposophic therapy
Anthroposophic medicine sees itself as an extension of conventional medicine. It is offered by doctors and specially trained therapists and, alongside medicines made from plants, minerals and animal substances, uses art therapy, eurythmy therapy (a movement therapy) and rhythmical massage. Its aim is to address body, soul and spirit together.

Origin and approach
Anthroposophic medicine was founded in the 1920s by Rudolf Steiner and the physician Ita Wegman, who opened a clinic in Arlesheim near Basel. It is based on Steiner’s anthroposophy, a spiritual view of the human being. This model has not been scientifically proven, and research on its effects is limited.
What a session is like
Length: 45–60 min- The first conversation covers your complaints, your life situation and your personal history.
- Depending on what is offered, a therapy follows, for example eurythmy therapy with specific movement exercises, painting or modelling in art therapy, or rhythmical massage.
- Doctors may also prescribe anthroposophic medicines.
- These are often a series of sessions, with exercises to take home.
Anthroposophic therapy: what is it used for?
- Exhaustion and fatigue.
- Stress and the feeling of being out of balance.
- Wanting support that considers your feelings and life situation as well as your body.
For these uses anthroposophic therapy relies mainly on tradition and experience.
