Health & Biodynamics

Health and healing, viewed through the lens of anthroposophy, encompass a comprehensive understanding of the human being as a unity of body, soul, and spirit. This collection brings together over 600 titles spanning anthroposophic medicine, therapeutic eurythmy, arts therapies, psychology, nutrition, and natural remedies. Founded on insights first articulated by Rudolf Steiner and physician Ita Wegman in their landmark 1925 work Extending Practical Medicine (also published as Fundamentals of Therapy), this integrative approach has grown into a worldwide medical movement practiced in over 24 countries and recognized by the Swiss government since 1999.

The Rudolf Steiner Bookstore carries the most comprehensive English-language selection of health and healing titles rooted in anthroposophic research. Here you will find foundational works by Steiner and Wegman alongside contemporary clinical guides by Michaela Glöckler, whose A Guide to Child Health has reached hundreds of thousands of families. Titles by Victor Bott (Anthroposophical Medicine), Walther Bühler, Henning Schramm, and Adam Blanning (Understanding Child Development) cover everything from organ-specific therapies and mistletoe treatment in oncology to childhood development and biographical counseling. Works on therapeutic eurythmy, painting therapy, music therapy, and sculptural modeling offer practitioners and students insight into the artistic therapies unique to this tradition.

Whether you are a physician exploring integrative approaches, a therapist seeking to deepen your practice, a Waldorf educator supporting student wellbeing, or an individual pursuing a more conscious relationship with your own health, this collection serves as a trusted resource. Subcategories including Anthroposophic Medicine, Eurythmy & Movement Therapy, Arts Therapies, Psychology & Mental Health, Wellness & Nutrition, and Remedies & Therapeutics allow you to navigate directly to your area of interest. For nearly fifty years, the Rudolf Steiner Bookstore has connected readers with the literature that supports healing on every level of human experience.
