Peter Mandel, Originator of Esogetic Colorpuncture™
“I have to say that Peter Mandel is by far the most creative naturopath in the country: he has completely new ideas; he doesn’t just take old concepts and adjust them here and there. In my view, he is a genius phenomenon who, someday, is going to have a place in history like all the big names in natural medicine, like Kneipp and Hahnemann, because he has revolutionized natural healing methods and set them on a modern path.”
— Josef Angerer, President, Association of German Naturopaths
In the mid-1960’s, Peter Mandel began working to develop a new holistic healing system that would address difficult health issues and their connections to deep blockages at the subconscious emotional and spiritual levels of the human being.
Evaluated Each Individual at the Level of Body, Soul and Spirit
Based on this understanding, Mandel worked for years to develop treatments that address each individual at all three levels. He firmly believed that the roots of illness and pain lie in the subconscious, where blockages in the flow of healthy information from spirit and soul into matter occur.
Combined Traditional Alternative Healing Techniques, Ancient Healing Wisdom Traditions and the Latest Research in Modern Biology and Neuroscience
Mandel trained in naturopathy, homeopathy, acupuncture, iridology and bodywork. He also kept up with the latest research in modern biology, neuroscience, western medicine and biophysics — most notably photobiology or the biophysics of light. He held an honorary doctorate from “Medicina Alternativa” in Alma-Ata, was an honorary member of the Academy of Holistic Medicine of the Grieshaber Foundation and was a founding member and second chair of the “Academy for Medicine and Reformed Healing Methods” in Worms, founded in 1997.
Mandel also collaborated with many well-known scientists, most notably the renowned biophysicist, Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp. Popp’s research focused on the existence of biophotons in the body that facilitate cellular communication. Popp concluded that we are actually made of light.
Developed a Unique System of Information/Energy Medicine
Over the past 70+ years, Mandel’s research led him to develop a unique “information/energy” diagnostic system called Kirlian Energy Emission Analysis ™, a system of acu-light therapy called Esogetic Colorpuncture ™, a brain wave “Induction Therapy” system and, most recently, a system of wholistic Crystal Therapies. He also developed a variety of self-care tools and methods that can be used by patients at home.
Peter Mandel’s Work Continues
Peter Mandel died in February, 2026. He leaves behind the active Mandel Clinic in Bruchsal, Germany, run by his son, Markus Wunderlich, as well as the International Mandel Institute with trained instructors in Esogetic Colorpuncture ™ and Kirlian EEA ™ offering classes around the world, and esogetics GmbH, which develops and distributes Esogetic tools and products worldwide.

“Peter Mandel is distinguished by an explosive mixture of imagination and realism. This is clearly revealed by his tireless investigation into the mysteries of therapy, by the development of models for understanding the organization of living structures, and, last but not least, by his compassion for others and his strong commitment to helping those who are ill.” — Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, Bio-Physicist
