Since yesterday I talked about the new product I’m loving by Weleda, I thought it would be fun to share a little bit about the company since they’ve been around for so long!

It all goes back to 1921 and something called anthroposophy. This movement, stemming from the teachings of philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner, encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind and spirit as intrinsically linked to our world; all part of one holistic system.

And so Steiner, along with Dr. Ita Wegman, got together with a team of dedicated scientists and doctors to determine just how they might use this philosophy to take care of their patients’ needs. They understood that a human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, but sometimes it needs a little help. So they developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that can holistically work with and support our own body’s healing tendencies.

They started by creating one of the world’s first Biodynamic® gardens to grow what they needed (and they STILL grow Biodynamically!). Sound new agey? It’s actually old agey—what cultures around the world have done successfully for generations.

Patients were healed, wellness and balance were restored to them, and never once was a synthetic chemical or lab-made preservative used in the process.

The company’s new name couldn’t have been more appropriate: Weleda, after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing.
