A Sustainable Model of Medicine Many people are greening their lifestyles and doing their best to support environmentally responsible businesses to improve the health of the planet. Healthcare, however, is one area that often gets missed. Knowing that human health is dependent upon the health of our environment, it is important to also think about the business of healthcare in this way. Naturopathic medicine is part of the solution. It is sustainable, green, and eco-friendly. The 6 principles that guide naturopathic medicine reflect a green approach to healing both humans and our environment.
H1N1 (Swine) Flu Recommendation The doctors of the WNPA are concerned about the issue and are recommending that people seek medical care if exhibiting symptoms of the flu such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. We support standard public health guidelines for hygiene and encourage people to take precautions regarding their exposures. Our patients typically remain healthy by following naturopathic principles of sound nutrition, exercise, lifestyle choices, and stress management, empowering their bodies' innate healing mechanisms. For more information about natural prevention and treatment options, contact your local naturopathic doctor.
