Dr. Mikyung Kim, ND. 

PhD. Pharmacist (in Korea)

Before becoming a naturopathic doctor, Dr. Mikyung Kim was a pharmacist in Korea and ran her own pharmacy for more than 22 years. She always asked herself how she could best help her patients. That question led her to keep learning, including Asian medicine and medical nutrition, to better understand and make up for some of the limits of conventional medications. She was introduced to iridology in 1999 and has since studied the iris signs of more than 1,000 people. Iridology deepened her understanding of the mind–body connection and of caring for the whole person rather than a list of symptoms. Along the way, the six principles of naturopathic medicine became the foundation of her practice. Dr. Kim believes the best treatment is prevention. She helps patients understand the root causes of their health concerns so they can live well. Her care is based on natural therapies, and her background in nutrition and pharmacology is especially helpful for people with chronic conditions and those taking long-term or multiple medications.

Why Healing Roots

Roots must be nourished before a plant

can grow healthy leaves and flowers. Our bodies follow the same rule.

 

To prevent disease,

we need to listen carefully to what our body is telling us.

Every cell, organ and system in the body is connected.

For example, a skin problem may be

a sign that you need more water, better sleep or support for your digestion, rather than another cream.

 

Naturopathic medicine helps you find the root cause

so you can begin to heal.

Along the way, you come to understand yourself better

and discover that your body already has its own strength to heal.
