Alternative health care with Dr. Wendy Davis

Dr Wendy Davis truly looks for the root case of diseases and uses a range of various therapeutics.

Naturopathy, or naturopathic medicine, is a form of complimentary medicine that works to understand the root cause of disease and uses a range of various therapeutics in order to help patients achieve improved health.

Dr. Wendy Davis, owner of Harmony Health Clinic in Windthorst, offers naturopathic medical health care to her patients. Davis, being a doctor of naturopathic medicine, and her staff are committed to providing people with the highest quality care and treating the patient, not just symptoms.

Davis has been in practice since graduating in 2004, treating patients from nine to 90 years of age.

“Kids are great to deal with because they’re so resilient,” explains Davis. “They bounce back pretty quickly whereas adults have layers of toxicity and other things over the years that we need to deal with.”

“We treat everything from a common cold to cancer and everything in between,” says Davis.

Since starting to practise in Saskatchewan, Davis feels there are a lot more patients suffering with thyroid problems compared to when she had her practice in Ontario.

“As a naturopathic doctor, I diagnosis and treat just like a conventional doctor would,” explains Davis. “For our treatment we don’t use pharmaceuticals, we use supplements, diet, lifestyle and

I also do acupuncture and intravenous therapy.”

“We truly look for the root cause,” says Davis, adding, “We’re not looking to Band-Aid.”

“We will treat symptoms of course but want to try to understand why the symptoms are truly there.”

People will sometimes see a lot of other doctors before seeing a naturopath. Patients may suffer from side effects from medications.

During your initial consultation with Davis, you will review with her any of your health concerns, whether it be a specific complaint or an overall desire for wellness. The consultation will take about an hour and is a very individual process. From the visit you should be able to take home a definite plan of action to work towards the goals or solutions that you have discussed.

“We cover digestion, diet and sleep patterns among other symptoms,” says Davis.

So why is health and wellness so important?

Davis offers her perspective:

“It’s everything. Go back to the old adage…health is wealth. If you don’t feel well, nothing else matters.”

“People need a different perspective and I feel COVID has actually given people a greater appreciation of how important health is.”

“The word doctor means teacher and I do a lot of that.”

“I provide a lot of education in my practice because I think that people need to learn how to look after themselves and how to have some body autonomy.”

“You can’t always have someone else look after you. You have to learn how to do it yourself.”

Davis offers some suggestions on how a person can improve their health and wellness:

“To live a healthier lifestyle.”

“It’s a matter of a lot of basic things as well. People really need to appreciate sleep, their stress level and diet is crucial.

Davis often makes an analogy of a person’s health to an automobile.

“Compare it to putting crumby fuel in a car and expecting it to run well.”

Davis suggests one of the habits in maintaining good health is adequate sleep. Good quality sleep is very important.

At the end of the day, Davis can help you better understand your health, and empower you with the tools to take charge of your own mental, emotional, and physical wellness.
