Rudolf Steiner
Weleda Celebrates
Weleda was founded at a time of great change; revolutionary ideas about politics, science and business were in the air. Weleda’s history started with a hospital, a pharmaceutical laboratory and a medicinal plant garden. The founders – philosopher Rudolf Steiner, physician Ita Wegman and chemist Oskar Schmiedel – developed the first formulas according to the Weleda philosophy which continues to this day: that humans are connected to one another and are part of nature. Holistic pioneers Rudolf Steiner used the term “anthroposophy”, which means “the wisdom of man”, to describe his ideas for the reorganisation of different areas of life, including medicine, agriculture and education. Together with Wegman and Schmiedel, these three pioneers of healing understood the human being as a holistic being, one with a body, mind, spirit and a social life as part of different communities.
People and nature Weleda is celebrating its centenary year by shining the light on its responsible farming practices, promoting biodiversity and soil health. Weleda respects nature and cultivates partnerships with their customers, suppliers and employees, and because they find deep meaning in their work, they love what they do.
