Season One: Awakening our Understanding of Illness: 100-years of Fundamentals of Therapy This podcast is your invitation to engage with new perspectives on health and your own healing processes, while also learning about the fundamentals of anthroposophical medicine.   In episode five, the final episode for season one, we discuss chapter 14 of Fundamentals of Therapy by Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman. Why did they devote an entire chapter to the concept of boundary? How do we find a healthy balance between having a hard boundary and being permeable? We discuss how silica and sulfur—two substances frequently used in anthroposophic medicine--help us on physical, physiologic and sensory levels.   This conversation is far-reaching. At one point, we talk about substance abuse and wonder how the ego, the I, is affected when we partake in something as simple as caffeine or as strong as an opioid. We discuss sense organs and how the whole body receives sensory information, not just the eyes or ears. All of our organs are working together. Not like an assembly line processing one thing after another, but in communication and cooperation.   To support this podcast (and future episodes) go to: https://medicalsection.goetheanum.ch/donate.
