Anthroposophic Medicine is an integrative healthcare system that combines conventional medical practice with complementary therapies grounded in a holistic understanding of the human being. Developed in the early 20th century, this approach emphasizes the integration of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of health. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the principles, therapeutic methods, and clinical applications of anthroposophic medicine.
The session will cover natural remedies, movement therapy, art therapy, counseling, and lifestyle-based interventions used to support healing and well-being. Discussions will also address clinical evidence, patient-centered care models, safety, and the role of anthroposophic medicine in integrative healthcare systems. By fostering dialogue between practitioners, researchers, and healthcare professionals, this session aims to highlight the value of anthroposophic medicine in promoting holistic, compassionate, and individualized care.
