Life from the start
Pediatrics at Filderklinik Hospital
Filderklinik hospital (near Stuttgart, Germany) is exemplary in cross-departmental cooperation. In its pediatric intensive care unit, high-tech medicine is complemented by additional healing methods such as music therapy and rhythmical embrocation. The use of conventional drugs can thus be reduced.
Episode 3
Outpatient care
Anthroposophic Medicine for all
The social mandate of Anthroposophic Medicine includes outpatient medical care provided through integrative medical practices. The Integrative House of Health in Heidenheim (Germany) is exemplary, also because of its connection to a local clinic.

A holistic approach to medicine includes ways of strengthening the creative powers in the human soul and spirit. Offers such as painting therapy, music therapy and eurythmy therapy support sustainable healing.
Episode 5
Anthroposophic medicines
From nature to the human being
The medicines used in Anthroposophic Medicine can be obtained from all realms of nature. Nature meets science when medicinal plants such as St. John’s wort or gentian are processed. Ecology plays a central role.
Episode 6
Mistletoe as an example
Integrative oncology
Mistletoe therapy is one of the most frequently applied complementary therapies for cancer patients. 100 years after Rudolf Steiner first suggested using mistletoe, clinical research has increasingly confirmed its effectiveness and has repeatedly discovered new healing potential in mistletoe.

Ways to the future
Training and research in Anthroposophic Medicine
The Integrated Curriculum for Anthroposophic Medicine (ICURAM) at Witten/Herdecke University, with its training ward in Herdecke Community Hospital, enables aspiring physicians to learn a holistic approach to medicine.
The example of clinical research in Herdecke and Havelhöhe shows how Anthroposophic Medicine is making an independent contribution to person-oriented medicine.
