The anamnesis and diagnosis (incl. pulse and tongue diagnosis) are the core foundation for any therapy plan according to Ayurveda medicine. The knowledge gained during a thorough anamnesis and the detailed evaluation of such will lead to an individualised therapy strategy.
Any diagnoses already made by western medicine or other health professionals should be available at our first meeting. Please bring doctor and laboratory reports with you or send them through in advance.

The constitutional diagnosis serves to determine which characteristics, strengths and susceptibilities are already attributed to you by nature.

What’s more important, it will allow us to identify how nutrition can be used to your benefit and to promote health and wellbeing.
