Pharmaceutical processes
In anthroposophic medicine and homeopathy, amongst other things, natural remedies with special pharmaceutical processing are used therapeutically. These pharmaceutical processes include, for example, the specific Iscador blending process and the process of potentiation.
According to the founders of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), and anthroposophical medicine, Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), these methods are, among other aspects, also about "unfolding the spirit of the remedy" (Hahnemann) through potentisation or "processing that which lives in the mistletoe formation process ..." (Steiner) through the Iscador mixing process.
At present, no generally recognised detection methods are known for remedies that are produced according to such processes. The aim of our working group is therefore to develop detection methods for these pharmaceutical processes and to investigate the influence of rhythms and constellations. In addition to physico-chemical methods, we focus on the development of biological test methods and the application of picture-forming methods. An overview of our previous publications can be found here.
