Anamnesis in naturopathic practice

A thorough anamnesis forms the basis of every naturopathic treatment. It allows me to gain a holistic understanding of the individual – not only of the current symptoms, but also of life circumstances, previous experiences, stresses and available resources.

​

In Traditional European Naturopathy (TEN), symptoms are not viewed in isolation, but understood as part of a broader context. Anamnesis serves to identify underlying connections and to clarify whether and how a treatment can be carried out in a meaningful, appropriate and responsible way.

​

It is essential in determining

• whether I am able to take on a treatment,

• how the treatment is approached,

• and which methods are suitable in the individual case.

​

Follow-up treatments are also accompanied by a – usually shorter – anamnesis. This helps to assess the current course, evaluate how the treatment is being tolerated and make adjustments where necessary.

​

For me, anamnesis forms the foundation of attentive, well-founded and goal-oriented care.
