Medicinal Plants & Remedies

Medicinal plants and remedies hold a central place in anthroposophic medicine, where the relationship between the plant world and the human organism is understood through Goethean observation and spiritual-scientific research. This collection of approximately 40 titles explores how specific plants, minerals, and metals are prepared and applied as therapeutic substances in the Weleda and Wala pharmaceutical traditions.

Works by Henning Schramm, including his studies on plant signatures and their correspondence to human organ processes, stand alongside Rudolf Steiner’s foundational indications on substance and remedy preparation. Wilhelm Pelikan’s landmark Healing Plants offers a comprehensive guide to plant medicines seen through the lens of anthroposophy. Additional titles address the preparation of potentized remedies, the role of the zodiac and planetary rhythms in pharmacology, and practical materia medica for practitioners.
