The PRIMULA Center for Phytotherapy and Anthroposophic Medicine was founded in 2004 by renowned anthroposophic and general physician, herbalist Dr. Karapet Matinyan.
There is a medical consultation in this Center, after which the pharmacy at the center is preparing the necessary medication prescribed by the physician.
In anthroposophic medicine, man is seen as a spiritual and physical unity that is interacting with nature, the external environment, and the whole universe.
As a cause of illness the importance of internal and external human imbalance, displacement from natural rhythms, and the harmful factors of the external environment are highlighted.
Age features of human development and their disorders are considered.
As a medication, substances that are extracted from nature are used, which, as a result of special treatment, become a medicine. The purpose of the medication is to restore human inner balance and promote its natural healing processes. The materials derived from nature complement the lack of the body's disease during illness.
The PRIMULA Medical Center has a licensed pharmacy with a production department where medicines are being prepared for local and imported natural origin raw materials.
Local herbal raw materials are collected from Dr. Karapet Matinyan, from different regions of Armenia and Artsakh, with the help of family members and partners.
The list of healing diseases is conditioned by the experience of the doctor and the possibilities of the medical method. These are mainly internal, endocrine, skin, subcutaneous and oncological diseases. The PRIMULA Medical Center also addresses parents for their children, getting advice and the necessary medical care.
Patients from different regions of Armenia, as well as foreign countries are being treated at PRIMULA Medical Center.

About the Anthroposophic Medicine
Anthroposophic medicine offers an integrative concept for diagnosis and therapy. It integrates natural science-based medicine with anthroposophy and is practiced today in over 60 countries.
With direct reference to the essence of the human being and his or her mental and spiritual needs, this practice medicine is naturally patient focused and practical. A patient’s constitution, age, biographical setting, mental and spiritual state and social environment are included in diagnosis and treatment.
In addition to their general and specialist medical training, anthroposophic physicians study anthroposophic medical science of the human being and the world. Great value is placed on involving a patient in the recovery process.
Anthroposophic remedies are taken alongside conventional medications, either by mouth, or in the form of subcutaneous or intravenous injections, or in the form of compresses, wraps, light massage (embrocations), and therapeutic baths (hydrotherapy). Eurythmy therapy, rhythmical massage, and art therapies are intrinsic part of treatment and healing - and encourage self-development through health education and self-education.
The origins of anthroposophic medicine
Dr. Rudolf Steiner Phil (1861-1925) developed anthroposophy as a humanistic world view and theory of knowledge with the human being at its centre (anthropos = Greek man, sophia = Greek wisdom). His contribution to medicine was established in collaboration with Dr. Ita Wegman MD (1876-1943), who founded the Arlesheim Clinic in 1921.
