Anthroposophic medicine represents Rudolf Steiner's systematic attempt to extend conventional medical science through the framework of spiritual science (Anthroposophy). Rather than replacing anatomy, physiology, or pharmacology, it seeks to supplement them by incorporating what Steiner regarded as the supersensible dimensions of the human being: the etheric body (life forces), the astral body (the bearer of consciousness and feeling), and the ego-organisation (the individualising principle). Illness, in this framework, is understood not as a random malfunction but as a meaningful deviation from normal life processes — a displacement in the dynamic balance between these members of the human constitution. Health, correspondingly, is conceived as an active, ongoing achievement of integration rather than a static condition. The foundational clinical lectures are gathered primarily in GA 312 through GA 319, while the concise programmatic text co-authored with Ita Wegman, Extending Practical Medicine (GA 27), provides the most condensed theoretical statement of the approach.
