depicts the universal integrating ef-

The category directive corresponds to Responsibility.
The category receptive corresponds to Tolerance.
The category constant corresponds to Sincerity.
The category variable corresponds to Open-mindedness.
The category integrative corresponds to Benevolence.
The category separative corresponds to Justice.

PARACELSUS – Health & Healing


The Magazine for Healing Practices and Traditional
Knowledge of Medicine in East and West

Paracelsus was a master of health and healing who stands


for a bridging of the visible and invisible worlds. What
he said 500 years ago is now slowly being found valid
even by modern medical science. Therefore the magazine
is published in memory of Paracelsus to inform about all
varieties of healing known to be effective.
Subject areas are: Ayurveda, homoeopathy, yoga,
alchemy, naturopathy, traditional Chinese therapies, other
traditional therapies from the Far East, magnetotherapy,
hydrotherapy, massage, foot zone massage, phytotherapy,
dietetics, gems for healing (crystals), colour therapy, sound
therapy, old ”grandmother recipes”, spiritual therapies
including healing through meditation.
