Conventional medicine focuses on the body's physical symptoms. But more
and more patients are questioning the limitations of this approach and
are exploring holistic approaches, such as anthroposophic medicine,
which also addresses the human soul -- our individual thinking, will and
feelings -- and the human spirit, our self-awareness and essence.
Anthroposophic medicine is an extension of, not a replacement to,
conventional medicine.
This comprehensive book introduces and explores the philosophy and
practice of anthroposophic medicine, which is based on principles
developed by Rudolf Steiner. It discusses many alternative therapies and
areas of health including artistic therapies, massage, childhood
illnesses, cancer and psychiatry.
Healing for Body, Soul and Spirit will inform and engage a general
reader, with no medical background, who is interested in alternative and
holistic approaches to human health.
