Book excerpt: While conventional medicine analyzes disease in terms of cellular disturbances and prescribes drugs to counteract physical symptoms, anthroposophical medicine adds a spiritual image of the human being. Anthroposophical doctors (who qualify first in conventional medicine) increase the range of treatments available, offering artistic therapies, herbal remedies, and many others. Where conventional treatment can only suppress the symptoms, these treatments extend the possibilities of a cure and reduce the need to use conventional drugs. This book is an excellent introduction to the scope and potential of anthroposophical medicine.
