Bilingual Edition / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (CW 27)

This is a revised translation by Dr. Christina van Tellingen and Dr. Ricardo Bartelme. It is the only book written by Rudolf Steiner with a co-author. Presented in the original German with facing pages in English translation, it introduces a new method of medical practice, complementing natural-scientific medicine through the methods and contents of anthroposophical spiritual science. It does not merely impart information, but permits, even requires, the active reader to undergo a training, a development of new capacities. These new capacities permit the practitioner to come to insights into the spiritual aspects of illness, healing substances, and healing processes. Thus, this book is a guide on the path of initiation into the mysteries of healing, so that the practice of medicine can be truly humanised.
