Seratrodast
Weleda is a multinational company that produces both beauty products and naturopathic medicines. Both lines of products are based on anthroposophic principles, which is a philosophy founded in the early 20th century by Rudolf Steiner.
History[edit | edit source]
Weleda was founded in 1921 as a pharmaceutical laboratory, with its own medicinal plant garden. It was founded by Rudolf Steiner, Ita Wegman and Oskar Schmiedel. Today, Weleda AG is a for-profit company with five cooperative societies of not-for-profit partner companies in Europe and North America.
Products[edit | edit source]
Weleda produces a wide range of products, such as essential oils, skin care products, and naturopathic medicines. These products are based on anthroposophic principles, which aim to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
Philosophy[edit | edit source]
The philosophy of Weleda is based on anthroposophy, a philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner. Anthroposophy aims to use spiritual knowledge to solve practical problems. It is the basis for a variety of practical activities, including education (Waldorf schools), agriculture (biodynamic farming), and medicine (anthroposophic medicine).
Criticism[edit | edit source]
Weleda has been criticized for its use of homeopathic products. Critics argue that homeopathy lacks scientific evidence and that it is not effective in treating diseases.
