Spring 2010 Newsletter: Featured Article from Dr. Minette, Naturopathic Physician:

Aller-Geeze!

Did you know that Charlotte ranks third in the list of worst cities for allergies? Geeze! No wonder so many people are walking around with sinus congestion and runny noses. Even more disturbing is the number of people who are on medications and who are still suffering from allergy symptoms. If this is your story, or if you are fed up with the side effects caused by allergy medications, then naturopathic medicine can help you.

Naturopathic medicine offers an approach to health that heals the root cause of illness, rather than just covering up the symptoms. At The EAST│WEST Center for Wellness, Dr. Chérie Minette uses natural therapies to stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself. She treats each person individually, working holistically to develop a plan that ensures good health in all her patients.

Dr. Minette’s practice, Naturopathic Health, is located inside The EAST│WEST Center for Wellness. Dr. Minette attended medical school in Arizona at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Before that, she completed her Masters in Health Education, with a concentration in nutrition. She also holds degrees in Biology and Psychology and has worked abroad in South America as a naturopathic physician.

In addition to allergies, Dr. Minette's other areas of focus include:
