ABOUT US

 What is a Naturopathic Doctor?
A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) has attended a four-year accredited naturopathic medical school.  A graduate must pass the national doctoral board examination for naturopathic doctors to obtain a license to practice.    Naturopaths are trained in primary care to diagnose and treat using natural modalities such as physical medicine, clinical nutrition, herbal medicines, homeopathy, counseling, and hydrotherapy, among others. 








Have you wondered which alternatives or natural remedies may help you?   Frustrated after seeing your doctor with no improvement in your condition?

Natural Roots Medicine may help.  Dr. Miki listens to the patient first and foremost.  She focuses on the person and not just a symptom.   Utilizing her expertise in prevention, she helps patients  live healthier without disease.   Some disease processes are acute, others are complex and chronic, and the healing process may be just as complex.  Her approach is to educate patients to have an active role in their health.



We Offer

Botanical Medicine

Phytotherapy or plant medicines are used as teas, tinctures, poultices and capsules. Medicinal plants are safe and effective for enhancing the immune system and treating illnesses. 

Hydrotherapy

Constitutional hydrotherapy uses sine wave and hot/cold water to facilitate healing.  It increases circulation, blood flow, organ function and immune response.  It treats infection, inflammation, and is vital for detox.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe treatment option for acute and chronic illness.  Homeopathy helps your body start the healing process with a "like cures like" approach, a similimum.  A Naturopath takes characteristics specific to each patient to find their correct remedy.

Clinical Nutrition

We correct deficiencies and malnutrition by applying "food as medicine" as well as pharmaceutical grade supplements to provide balance and optimal health.  We teach better ways to eat for weight management and metabolic efficiency.

Innovative Laboratory Testing

Conventional and specialized testing provides us with valuable information on our patient's.  We offer food allergy, heavy metal, gastrointestinal function testing and other specialized tests.
