I’m an Oregon board-certified naturopathic doctor, a primary care physician, specializing in natural medicine.

Dr. Chikako Harper is an Oregon board-certified naturopathic doctor, an expert on natural medicine. I believe that illness is the body’s way of manifesting internal imbalance. The focus of my treatment is to identify and treat the underlining cause, rather than just treating symptoms. I use a unique integrated approach, combining the science of western medicine with the healing arts of natural medicine. My approach is to minimize the use of pharmaceutical drugs as much as possible and promote the body’s innate self-healing ability. Areas of my specialty include skin conditions, allergies, diabetes, hypertension, women’s health, hormonal imbalance, thyroid, weight loss, acute and chronic pains, mood disorders. I also offer health check up and women’s annual exam.

Do you have eczema? Or are you diagnosed with atopic dermatitis? Are you using hydrocortisone or some corticosteroid cream prescribed by your doctor? Corticosteroid is not a cure. It only palliates the symptoms and possibly worsens it over time. I had eczema since childhood. As with many eczema patients I had to use corticosteroid cream for long time and ended up with eczema all over my body. Through natural treatments I am finally free from eczema that I suffered for nearly 30 years. You too can get rid of eczema if you understand the pathophysiology of eczema. Let’s get started by scheduling an appointment with me.

アトピー性皮膚炎の方、あるいは湿疹でステロイド剤を常用していらっしゃる方へ。ステロイド剤では治りません。かゆみや赤みは身体の自己治癒の反応です。ステロイド剤はその自己治癒機能を止めて症状を抑え込んでしまうので、根治につながらないどころか、逆に悪化させ難治化させてしまいます。私自身もアトピー性皮膚炎と診断され、長期のステロイド剤の使用で、湿疹が全身へ広がった挙げ句「一生治らない」と皮膚科医から宣言されました。ステロイド剤の使用を止め自然療法を学び、今では３０年以上苦しんだアトピー性皮膚炎が完治しています。アトピー性皮膚炎の真の原因を理解すれば、根治が可能なのです。
