Download or read book An Introduction to Anthroposophical Medicine written by Victor Bott and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern times western societies have become increasingly familiar and at ease with many complementary and alternative types of medicine, often derived from eastern sources. Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophical medicine, founded in the early part of the twentieth century, is a renewal of the original sources of western medicine. However, unlike many modern medical practices based on reductionist, materialistic thought, Steiner's truly holistic system encompasses a picture of the human being as an entity of body, soul and spirit. Anthroposophical medicine seeks to bring harmony to these various aspects of the human constitution. Victor Bott, a medical doctor, gives a comprehensive overview of this remarkable system of medicine, and presents a new approach to understanding the various types of diseases. His survey includes a discussion of the stages of human development, the roles of various organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys and heart, particular diseases of many kinds, and pointers as to why people fall ill in the first place. He also discusses the increasing prevalence of cancer, and gives insights into specific phenomena such as the menstrual cycle. This volume will be illuminating both for medical practitioners and therapists who wish to learn more about anthroposophical medicine, and for patients who would like a deeper understanding of a key medical approach.

Download or read book The Spiritual Science of Health and Healing written by W. J. Colville and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. THIS little work has been prepared in great haste, amid a multitude of pressing duties. A selection has been made not quite at random from an immense mass of manuscript which*has been steadily accumulating for more than a year under the reporter's hands. As the best reporters are not usually quite accurate and as extemporaneous speeches, even though delivered under inspiration, often contain some sentences which have too local, immediate and personal a bearing to render them valuable for permanent preservation, it has been found necessary to review the whole of the matter at first selected for this book with the utmost care, so as to eliminate as far as possible the less important and include the more important material. With a view to covering as much ground as possible in the fewest number of words, large portions of some lectures have been entirely omitted, and parts of others have been introduced wherever consecutiveness of ideas would permit. In a few instances a lecture appears almost word for word as it was delivered, but for reasons already stated, about twenty lectures have been employed in the formation of the twelve here presented. The publisher cannot hope to have succeeded to any great extent in making a very valuable book for study and reference, still without in any degree overestimating the value of its contents, it is only true to declare that the essential sum and substance of the teachings given in the classes will be found in the following pages. Those whose minds are fertile as well as receptive, those to whom one idea suggests another and who have the gift of tracing conclusions to their sources, and following thought further than its outward dress can convey it, will doubtless be able to successfully treat themselves and others, if they carefully read and meditate upon the contents of this volume, as a perfect system of treatment is definitely outlined in its pages. The main object of the work is, however, to stimulate inquiry, awaken earnest thought, and remove prejudice and misconception. To the liberal, fair-minded and aspiring elements in the world's population, this little work is earnestly and lovingly dedicated and addressed. The prayer of the publisher is, that it may stimulate in some degree the noblest aspirations of men, women and children, to help each other and assist in some slight measure in turning the thoughts of old and young alike from the perishable unrealities of sense to the true realities of spirit. As the author is not a dogmatist, claims no right, and has no wish to force others to his conclusions, the hope is not expressed that his words shall be regarded as a criterion for the efforts of others. The reader's sincere friend, W. J. Colville

Download or read book Medicine Religion and Health written by Harold G Koenig and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicine, Religion, and Health: Where Science and Spirituality Meet will be the first title published in the new Templeton Science and Religion Series, in which scientists from a wide range of fields distill their experience and knowledge into brief tours of their respective specialties. In this, the series' maiden volume, Dr. Harold G. Koenig, provides an overview of the relationship between health care and religion that manages to be comprehensive yet concise, factual yet inspirational, and technical yet easily accessible to nonspecialists and general readers. Focusing on the scientific basis for integrating spirituality into medicine, Koenig carefully summarizes major trends, controversies, and the latest research from various disciplines and provides plausible and compelling theoretical explanations for what has thus far emerged in this relatively young field of study. Medicine, Religion, and Health begins by defining the principal terms and then moves on to a brief history of religion's role in medicine before delving into the current state of research. Koenig devotes several chapters to exploring the outcomes of specific studies in fields such as mental health, cardiovascular disease, and mortality. The book concludes with a review of the clinical applications derived from the research. Koenig also supplies several detailed appendices to aid readers of all levels looking for further information. Medicine, Religion, and Health will shed new light on critical contemporary issues. They will whet readers' appetites for more information on this fascinating, complex, and controversial area of research, clinical activity, and widespread discussion. It will find a welcome home on the bookshelves of students, researchers, clinicians, and other health professionals in a variety of disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Esther Sternberg is a rare writer—a physician who healed herself...With her scientific expertise and crystal clear prose, she illuminates how intimately the brain and the immune system talk to each other, and how we can use place and space, sunlight and music, to reboot our brains and move from illness to health.”—Gail Sheehy, author of Passages Does the world make you sick? If the distractions and distortions around you, the jarring colors and sounds, could shake up the healing chemistry of your mind, might your surroundings also have the power to heal you? This is the question Esther Sternberg explores in Healing Spaces, a look at the marvelously rich nexus of mind and body, perception and place. Sternberg immerses us in the discoveries that have revealed a complicated working relationship between the senses, the emotions, and the immune system. First among these is the story of the researcher who, in the 1980s, found that hospital patients with a view of nature healed faster than those without. How could a pleasant view speed healing? The author pursues this question through a series of places and situations that explore the neurobiology of the senses. The book shows how a Disney theme park or a Frank Gehry concert hall, a labyrinth or a garden can trigger or reduce stress, induce anxiety or instill peace. If our senses can lead us to a “place of healing,” it is no surprise that our place in nature is of critical importance in Sternberg’s account. The health of the environment is closely linked to personal health. The discoveries this book describes point to possibilities for designing hospitals, communities, and neighborhoods that promote healing and health for all.
