- First, do no harm;
- Identify and treat the cause;
- Treat the whole person;
- Prevention;

- Doctor as teacher.

Whether you are experiencing an acute or chronic health concern or want to prevent future illness, naturopathic medicine has the tools you need to achieve optimum health. We look forward to helping you on your path to wellness and health.
Why "Eveningstar"?
Eveningstar a beautiful plant with many medicinal uses. The common evening primrose is native to the Rocky Mountains as well as eastern and central North America. The seeds of the flower (evening primrose oil) are most commonly used to reduce inflammation, help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and treat various skin conditions. Early settlers used the entire plant to treat rashes and stimulate digestion.
