The story of WALA medicines begins in 1935. This was when Dr. Rudolf Hauschka established the WALA company and started producing WALA Medicines. Today this first brand includes around 1000 different medicines for acute and chronic diseases, plus remedies for self-treatment of minor ailments such as tummy upsets, eye and ear problems, colds, minor injuries and many more. They are based on the principles of anthroposophical medicine and consist of medicinal plants and natural substances which have been prepared using a rhythmic process developed by Rudolf Hauschka. Dr. Hauschka Skin Care was founded in 1967 under the umbrella of WALA. Its make-up range was added in 1999 and its medical skin care range Dr.Hauschka Med in 2009.
