Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"Occult Science in Medicine" by Franz Hartmann is a book published in 1893 that challenges contemporary medical practice by reviving ancient healing wisdom. Hartmann argues that modern medicine, focused solely on the physical body, ignores the spiritual dimensions of human health understood by physicians like Paracelsus. The work compares materialistic medical approaches with occult traditions, exploring the sevenfold constitution of man, spiritual causes of disease, and higher orders of healing that transcend physical remedies alone.
