The Contribution of Anthroposophic Medicine to the Integrative Treatment of COVID-19 Patients

The COVID-19 pandemic is testing healthcare systems around the world, encouraging the development of new treatments and care approaches. Anthroposophic doctors have gathered numerous lessons in inpatient and outpatient care of COVID-19 patients, integrating both conventional and specific anthroposophic treatments. These experiences have led to the development of best practices in the integrative treatment of COVID-19 and its “long-COVID” symptoms.

Being an integrative multimodal treatment system, Anthroposophic Medicine (AM) extends conventional medicine with its holistic view on the human being, health and disease.

In this webinar, anthroposophic doctors from different continents share their experiences in the treatment of COVID-19 in diverse healthcare settings from inpatient, intensive care and outside ICU, to outpatient care, treating during both the acute disease stage as well as long term, post-COVID-19 symptoms.
