But we rarely ask ourselves what it is trying to tell us.<\/p><p>In the <strong>naturopathy and natural medicine<\/strong>, the face is one <strong>mirror of the internal organs and energy state<\/strong> of the person. Changes in color, fine lines, tension, lines, swelling: everything can be read by an expert eye.<\/p><p>In my studio of <strong>natural medicine in Lugano<\/strong>, the<strong>facial anamnesis<\/strong> is the starting point for every personalized path. It is not a medical diagnosis, but a functional and constitutional reading. It is a way to listen to the body <strong>before you even talk to the symptom.<\/strong><\/p><h2>What is facial anamnesis and where does it come from?<\/h2><p>THE&#039;<strong>facial anamnesis<\/strong> It is an observational technique used in traditional medicine (Chinese, Ayurvedic, anthroposophic) and in European naturopathy, which consists in reading the signals that the face expresses in real time.<\/p><p>The following are observed:<\/p><ul><li>Skin color<\/li><li>More highlighted or opaque areas<\/li><li>Presence of swelling, tension, dark circles<\/li><li>Fine lines or early wrinkles<\/li><li>Visible microcapillaries<\/li><li>Localized pimples, dryness, red spots<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Objective<\/strong>: individuate <strong>which organs are working too hard, which are weakened or under load<\/strong>, and understand <strong>Which treatment can best support the person<\/strong>.<\/p><h2>What is facial anamnesis for in natural medicine in Lugano<\/h2><p>In my approach, facial anamnesis is a precious compass. Not only does it allow me to orient myself, but it guides the entire subsequent path.<\/p><p><strong>The anamnesis is used to:<\/strong><\/p><ol><li><strong>Understanding the person&#039;s terrain<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Assess where you need to detox<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Choose herbal medicine, salts, Bach flowers and manual treatments with greater precision<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Monitor changes over time<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>It is a reading tool, not a labeling tool. Every face changes every week.
