'''Rudolf Hauschka''' (born 6 November 1891 in [[Vienna]], [[Austria]], died 28 December 1969 in [[Bad Boll]], [[Germany]]) was an Austrian [[chemist]], [[author]], [[inventor]], [[entrepreneur]] and [[anthroposophist]].

He was the founder of the company Wala Heilmittel GmbH and [[Dr. Hauschka]]. He is the inventor of a "rhythmic" production process that excluded the use of alcohol as a preservative of plant extracts and can preserve the extract for over 30 years. 'Dr. Hauschka' is the brand name given to the range of skin care and cosmetics made by the Wala company from his research.

==Biography==
Rudolf Hauschka from 1908 studied [[chemistry]] and [[medicine]] in [[Vienna]] and [[Munich]]. He graduated with his doctorate in June 1914 and participated in the First World War as a medical officer. After the War he went on several scientific expeditions. His travels took him to Australia, India and Egypt.

He was introduced to [[Anthroposophy]] by {{ill|Karl Schubert (Anthroposophist)|de|Karl Schubert (Heilpädagoge)|lt=Karl Schubert}}, a [[Waldorf education|Waldorf educator]], and became president of the [[Wandervogel]] movement in Austria.

His works take into account rhythmic processes found in nature. [[Rudolf Steiner]] influenced him greatly and [[anthroposophical medicine]] became his methodological approach to the study of nature, medicine, plants and natural phenomena.

1935 Hauschka founded the first WALA Laboratory near [[Ludwigsburg]] and later in 1953 this became WALA- Heilmittel Laboratorium. According to Hauschka himself, one of the most prominent people he met during this period was [[Otto Ohlendorf]], the Nazi war criminal.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hauschka|first=Rudolf|title=At the Dawn of a New Age|year=2000|isbn=9780919924253|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UaMyZ1W4VscC&q=Rudolf+Hauschka+nazi&pg=PA69}}</ref><ref>
