Traditional European Medicine is both a natural and a spiritual science.

Knowledge of the essence of nature combined chemistry and alchemy, physics and metaphysics, astronomy and astrology, psychology and magic. In TEM, deviations from the state of health were mostly remedied with herbal, but also mineral remedies.

The European tradition may not be as long-standing as TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), but all traditional systems agree that:

• Illness can be seen as a lost balance.
• Everything has mental, emotional and energetic causes.
• The living being is the focus, i.e. the whole person, the whole plant and not just individual organs or parts
• A good lifestyle and healthy eating are essential for maintaining health.
• All knowledge of the world that we possess on earth comes only from the light of nature.

"This light of nature extends from the visible to the invisible and is as wonderful here as there. In the light of nature the invisible is visible."

(Paracelsus)

mother tinctures

These are alcoholic extracts of the fresh (not dried!) plant. This produces a very intense, effective plant tincture, which is also the starting product for homeopathic preparations.

Gemmotherapy/embryonic cell therapy

In gemmotherapy, only embryonic plant tissue is used, ie plant parts that are particularly active in division, such as buds, shoots and root tips. They are mixed with glycerine in order to extract hormones, enzymes and plant protein from the plants. The wealth of protein in these plant parts is enormous.

Essential oils

The essential oil is the pure liquid essence of the plant. Essential oils have a direct effect on the limbic system in the brain stem and thus on the mental and emotional level. They have antiseptic, antiviral, antiparasitic and fungicidal properties. In order to meet the highest standards in terms of purity and quality, only those of food quality should be used.

floral waters

Real floral waters are produced using gentle steam distillation according to a centuries-old tradition. The floral water obtained in this way contains all the valuable information in a very mild, skin-friendly form. Real floral waters may not contain any preservatives.

lithotherapy/stone healing

In the Middle Ages, it was mainly the alchemists who were involved in crystal healing. According to Paracelsus, everything is largely determined by the basic elements mercury, sulphur and salt. Since there is an analogy between man and the cosmos, man finds the right remedy in his immediate environment. This is why minerals and stones play a particularly important role in "Paracelsus" therapy.

The history of lithotherapy began in the 19th century.

In the 19th century, a decisive development was made by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. In the 20th century, Rudolf Steiner developed lithotherapy further with his anthroposophical teachings. In the late 20th century, Doctor Henri Pol (the founder of gemmotherapy) pursued various lithotherapeutic approaches. A very complex form of stone healing also emerged in the Orient, India and China, independent of the European tradition.
