Association for Natural Medicine in Europe e.V. (ANME)

The Association for Natural Medicine in Europe e.V. (ANME) is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 2001 and registered in Schöneck, Germany. Its purpose is to preserve and develop naturopathy, natural medicine and pedagogical health promotion across Europe, and to advocate for a legally secure framework for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) at national and EU level. ANME's members include professional associations, therapists, educators, researchers, manufacturers of natural and herbal medicines, and citizens with an interest in natural health. The association has been a member of the European Public Health Alliance since 2003 and engages with European institutions on topics such as patient access to CAM, the regulation of phytotherapy and herbal medicinal products, and the recognition of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) within European health policy. It also runs symposia, professional awards and educational initiatives, and maintains documentation on traditional, experience-based and evidence-informed healing methods. For seekers, ANME is a reference point for how naturopathy and natural medicine are organised and represented in Europe rather than a provider of treatment. Gyfts lists it as a professional body so that practitioners of naturopathy, herbal medicine and related modalities can be understood in their wider European context.
