Dr. Elinor Jordan

I have been learning about natural medicine since I was a child, when my mother treated us all with homeopathy and taught us that symptoms are a guide to the cause and are not to be suppressed. My formal training comes from the Evergreen State College, where I graduated in 1992 and from Bastyr University in 2001.

Now I use homeopathy with most of my patients, as a gentle and effective means of bringing the body into balance. It is especially easy for kids to take. I also use herbal medicine, which I believe contains many ingredients, both physical and spiritual, we haven't fully explored. Diet and exercise form the foundation of health and those can become part of a treatment plan as well. I may also prescribe additional nutrients that are needed to treat a specific condition.

Children make up a large part of my practice. I regularly perform well child exams, treat acute illnesses and chronic conditions. Having a four year old daughter of my own has taught me a lot about the parent's side of being with a sick child.

I also see many adults for conditions as varied as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, irritable bowel disease, fatigue, women's health conditions, flus and sinus infections. I enjoy the extra time I take as a naturopath that allows me to get to know my patients better.
