The present brand motif shows the height sunshine of a patient. The warmth, light and ultraviolet rays of the most natural of all natural remedies, the sun, man made use of very early on. In 1954, this healing effect could already be imitated by various electromedical apparatuses. At that time, there were already many different irradiation lamps, such as height suns (quartz and ultraviolet lamps), incandescent lamps or infrared radiators. Areas of application of these medical innovations were rickets, skin tuberculosis, rheumatic diseases and the use in various inflammations and suppurations. The brand image should symbolize the entire area of physical medicine. The publication of the special stamp series should increase the promotion of health care.
