Occult Science in Medicine

Franz Hartmann1893
IntermediatePrimary Sourcecomplete

This book applies theosophical and Paracelsian principles to the field of medicine. Hartmann, a MD and prominent theosophist, argues that disease is not merely a physical phenomenon but has roots in the spiritual and mental constitution of man. He advocates for a holistic 'occult' medicine that treats the soul to heal the body, reviving the Hermetic medical tradition for the 19th century.
