Socio-ecological Medicine—An Anthroposophical Approach
摘要
Socio-ecological medicine, exemplified by anthroposophic practices, integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual health with sustainability and social justice. This approach, rooted in Rudolf Steiner's vision, emphasises self-regulation, autonomy, and meaningful care, aligning with e.g. Positive Health models. Anthroposophic medicine promotes therapies like eurythmy, external applications, and biodynamic nutrition, reducing reliance on pharmaceuticals and fostering ecological harmony. Its emphasis on patient empowerment, ethical responsibility, and collaboration addresses modern challenges like overmedicalisation, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental degradation. This holistic model fits seamlessly with socio-ecological agriculture, economics, and education as it aims to enhance resilience and dignity, offering a sustainable path forward for individuals, communities, and the planet.
