Eurythmy for Allergy Support

The “Eurythmy for Allergy Support” series, otherwise known as the “Hayfever series,” is one of dozens of sequences of eurythmy practices given by Dr. Rudolf Steiner for specific patients whom he saw with their own physicians and for whom he made suggestions for their eurythmy treatments. Eurythmy was often prescribed for the patients he saw. It was not to be considered an “artistic therapy” but as fundamental parts of a patient’s treatment, as specific to them as their medication. The original indications Steiner made have been saved, and archival research has unearthed even more than had previously been found. Since then, eurythmy therapists always try to work with doctors to have specific indications for the clients whom they see, although this is often not possible. In lieu of this, eurythmists make every effort to draw on their deep knowledge of physiology and of the lawfulness of the sounds and movements of eurythmy to serve the specific needs of the patient. This series was created for a patient with Allergies (specifically hay fever), and d has been widely prescribed for a wide variety of allergies since that time.
