Rhythm the Heart of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care
Dr.Hauschka quality is based on the use of selected ingredients. But the way in which we prepare the individual components is of equal importantance. Rhythm plays an important role here.
Rhythm carries life
In 1924, Dr. Rudolf Hauschka, WALA’s founder, had a fundamental experience which was instrumental in shaping his subsequent scientific and philosophical development. During the Anthroposophical summer conference in Arnhem (Holland) he met Dr. Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy. Many of the conversations between the two men centred on the question: what is life?
Steiner’s answer was: ‘Study rhythms, rhythm carries life.’
Hauschka took up this suggestion and developed manufacturing processes in which he incorporated the rhythms of nature. Even today WALA still uses these processes to obtain water-based extracts of medicinal herbs which remain stable without the use of alcohol, and to make the herbal essences for Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products which contain all the vitality of the plants. It were the two procedures which play an essential part in the rhythmic manufacturing process which gave WALA its name: Warmth and Ash, and Light and Ash.
The role of rhythm in skin care
Our skin has its own rhythms. For example, over a period of 28 days all the cells of the uppermost layer of the skin are completely renewed. The skin functions differently during the day than during the night. Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products support these rhythms and thus stabilise the skin’s natural activity. The oil-free night care system is adapted to the needs of the skin at night.
Between 12am and 2am is the skin’s busiest time of renewal and regeneration. What is clever about the Dr.Hauschka night care preparations is that these water-based plant essences carry all the help that our skin needs into our skin to re-balance and regenerate, without interfering with the natural elimination processes.
In the Dr.Hauschka Treatments the Dr.Hauschka Esthetician stimulates a harmonious flow throughout the body. She imparts a regenerating impulse to the skin and the organism. The Dr.Hauschka Holistic Body Treatment gives the client a rhythmic impulse from the tips of the toes to the top of the head. The result: an expression of harmonious vitality.
