Developed the 1920s by [[Rudolf Steiner]] (1861–1925) in conjunction with Dr. med [[Ita Wegman]] (1876–1943), anthroposophical medicine views these four aspects of the human being as interpenetrating and concretely relating to aspects in the natural world. Remedies are extracted from nature and used as phytotherapy, potentized substance, or externally applied. Anthroposophic medicine has developed and expanded the fields of artistic therapy- painting therapy, sculpture therapy, music therapy, speech therapy and [[Eurythmy therapy|eurythmy therapy]] (an Anthroposophic movement therapy). Anthroposophic Nursing extends the field of the practical nurse with a holistic approach towards illness and healing and uses [[Rhythmic massage|rhythmic massage]], [[Einreibung]], therapeutic baths and [[Herbal compresses|herbal compresses]]. Psychotherapy and biography work are also a part of Anthroposophic modalities.
