Hello and welcome to the website of the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians (WANP.)
If you are looking for a naturopathic physician for yourself and your family's healthcare needs, please see the Find A Doctor button at the upper right.
The WANP is the professional association of licensed naturopathic physicians in Washington State and we have been promoting naturopathic medicine since 1934. While much has changed in that time, our principles remain the same. The principles that guide the practice of naturopathic medicine include:
1. The Healing Power of Nature is inherent in each person.
2. Find the Cause, don't rely on symptom relief alone.
3. Treat the Whole Person: body, mind, spirit.
4. Preventive Medicine is a key to avoiding problems before they develop.
5. Wellness involves establishing and maintaining optimum health and balance.
6. Doctor As Teacher: naturopathic physicians strive to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills and awareness for optimal health.
For a more complete description of each of the above principles, click here.
Many naturopathic physicians are preferred providers with health plans in Washington and their services are covered under many benefit plans. At this time, however, Medicare and Medicaid, do not recognize naturopathic medicine and do not cover the services of naturopathic physicians. For specific information, check with your health plan regarding benefits and eligibility for naturopathic care.
The goal of the WANP is to spread the word about high quality natural medicine available from licensed naturopathic physicians, and to make naturopathic care accessible for all who want it. We welcome you to join us in our mission!
