The research published here — conducted over the course of fifteen years by Inge Just-Nastansky — reveals, through extensive illustrations, a side of nature that otherwise remains hidden to us.
The water drop — that small, transparent vessel — leaves behind remarkable structures after drying, structures in which its “experiences” are imprinted. Salt, minerals, gemstones, and plant organs — such as roots, stems, fruits, and seeds — are submerged in water for weeks or months. At regular intervals, samples are taken and dripped onto a microscope slide. After drying, characteristic and reproducible images of astounding harmony and beauty appear through the microscope. The variety of forms seems inexhaustible. We encounter in the phenomena under the microscope a language of images which in its lawfulness expresses another level of nature’s reality. The understanding of this creative world of life that lies behind the world of appearance develops through a living feeling and understanding of what is given as an active impulse in the images. “The silent language of life” is therefore inaccessible to a logical, abstract approach.
“The work of Inge Just-Nastansky joins the ranks of the so-called ‘image-creating methods’ that have emerged in anthroposophical natural science. One thinks of the pioneer Lili Kolisko, who studied the coming to rest of liquids in rising images. For example, at full moon and at new moon radically different rising patterns of the silver salt solution are formed. Inge Just-Nastansky also shows the polarity of the droplet image at full moon and new moon. Macroscopy brings balance to microscopy.” — Armin Husemann, MD

Inge Just-Nastansky, MD
Inge Just-Nastansky, MD, is a general practitioner based in Stuttgart. Born in Cologne in 1942, she embarked on her medical journey by obtaining her degree in medicine from Hamburg. Following her graduation, she dedicated three years to research at the UKE/Hamburg, followed by six years serving as an assistant doctor in pediatric and adult surgery.
In 1981, she assumed the responsibilities of a large rural practice in the northern Black Forest, where she practiced for eight years. In 1989, her interests shifted towards eurythmy studies in Stuttgart, culminating in the attainment of her diploma in 1993. Subsequently, she pursued a year-long eurythmy therapy training program in Stuttgart.
After a two-year stint as a school doctor, she returned to Stuttgart Bad-Cannstatt to establish her own practice, where she diligently served patients for seventeen years until 2014. Since 2001, she has been actively engaged in water drop research, alongside her lecturing endeavors.
