High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rudolf Hauschka (born November 6 1891 in Vienna, died December 28 1969 in Bad Boll) was an Austrian chemist, author, inventor, entrepreneur and anthroposophist. He was the founder of the company Wala Heilmittel GmbH and inventor of a "rhythmic" production process that excluded the use of alcohol as a preservative of plant extracts and can preserve the extract for over 30 years. Rudolf Hauschka from 1908 studied chemistry and medicine in Vienna and Munich. He graduated with his doctorate in June 1914. He was involved with Anthroposophy and was president of a migratory bird movement in Austria. It was Karl Schubert who introduced Hauschka to Anthroposophy during this time. He participated in the First World War as a medical officer. After the War he went on several scientific expeditions. His travels took him to Australia, India and Egypt. His works take into account rhythmic processes found in nature. Rudolf Steiner influenced him greatly and anthroposophical medicine became his methodological approach to the study of nature, medicine, plants and natural phenomena.
