"They were only able to cure her physical ailments,
after they had recognized her state of mind and brought order into her soul." (S.Kneipp)

Naturopathic medicine at the Angerhof hotel

Medical practice is one of the earliest achievments of human culture. The very first therapies were based on nature, as opposed to the methods of Western medicine which were only developed decades later.

Even nowadays, the ability to heal is an integral part of naturopathic practice. It is based on the vast knowledge of the many therapeutic options and the innate powers of self-healing. Healers act as keepers of this traditional medicine, but are also open for new insights which will help the patient.

Thus, healers combine medical knowledge that comes from decades of experience with modern methods that incorporate the latest research, if they are compatible with a gentle an humane practice.

In Germany, Heilpraktiker/in (healer) is an occupational title that has to be certified by the state.

Naturopathy is independent of trends. Its own responsibitliy applies to diagnosing, alleviating and healing of illnesses in accordance with a holistic way of thinking.
