Alexander von Bernus

Alexander von Bernus (1880-1965) was a famous scientist, poet and avid follower of the teachings of Paracelsus. In 1921, he set up Laboratorium Soluna, where he developed the Soluna remedies. In doing so, he brought the Old Masters’ storehouse of medical experience into modern times.

As a result of Bernus’ longstanding friendship with the founder of anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, the cyclical processing of Soluna's remedies was carried on until 1988 by the anthroposophical pharmaceuticals company Wala. Thereafter they were reclaimed by Bernus’ own laboratory.

Alexander von Bernus book, "Alchymie und Heilkunst", was and still is a very important piece of literature on the subject of spagyrics and natural science. Bernus' dedication to the science of healing proved to the 20th century that there is more to alchemy than superstitions from the middle-ages.
