What is Weleda?
Weleda medicine is an extension of conventional medicinal science, rather than an alternative to it.
Weleda was founded in 1921 to develop the medicines required by Anthroposophical doctors working with the ideas of Rudolf Steiner.
For over 80 years, Weleda worldwide has manufactured medicines based on the philosophy that medicine should stimulate our inherent healing tendencies - helping us to help ourselves.
Weleda's holistic approach aims to treat the whole person and re-establish balance, rather than to just suppress symptoms. With this approach, Weleda has developed a wide range of effective natural medicines and luxurious body care products that help bring the body back into balance. our products are produced to modern standards that result in high standards of quality, safety and effectiveness.
