Uriel Pharmacy's Mission

By Mark McKibben, Pharmacist

I created Uriel Pharmacy in 1996 to meet the needs of anthroposophically oriented health practitioners and their patients. Located in rural Wisconsin, we hand-make natural medicines designed for the whole human being, using ingredients from our own biodynamic gardens. I've been working in this field for over 25 years. In fact, I became a pharmacist just so I could do this kind of creative, different work! My goal is not corporate growth or increased market share, but to respond to real needs. The biggest need I see in medicine is to change our way of thinking. Real progress in healing will come when we are able to think of illness and remedies in living pictures rather than freeze-dried intellectual concepts.

It is an ancient truth that the world of nature is related to the parts of the human being because it once was part of us. This is a key for finding new remedies in individual situations. The physician can look for which nature processes are out of order or out of place and then design a treatment to harmonize them. My idea of success is to bring this connection with nature and the cosmos to consciousness again, to experience it as a reality. Then we will really be able to speak truth and make good medicine, the medicine of the future.
