In 1921 Weleda began as a “Clinical Therapeutic Institute” founded by Dr. Ita Wegman in collaboration with Dr. Rudolf Steiner in Arlesheim, Switzerland. The first production of what are today known as Weleda medicines were formulated in this pharmaceutical laboratory.
Weleda’s medicines are based upon the principles of anthroposophy, developed by Dr. Rudolf Steiner. All Weleda medicines were and continue to be formulated from a wealth of knowledge. Dr. Steiner worked closely with physicians to create these remedies. Since this time, our physicians and pharmacists have continued to create the finest, natural remedies available. Today, over 3,500 proprietary anthroposophic and homeopathic medicines are produced by Weleda and are available over-the-counter (OTC) or by prescription as custom-compounded remedies.
Our holistic medicines are safe, effective and time-tested. All Weleda remedies facilitate our body’s natural healing processes and abilities. Rather than simply masking symptoms, as is often the case in allopathic medicine, we look to our symptoms as signs of imbalance within our body. We can then gain an understanding of how our body is naturally working to heal itself. Our medicines are therefore formulated to stimulate a patient’s innate self-healing powers and to restore and maintain the health of the individual.
Weleda's remedies are administered in small, safe doses that treat an illness without unwanted side effects.
