Healthy at Home

Look Inside

“In this modern medical age, I fear that we are in danger of losing the fundamental and important knowledge of how to take care of our health and the health of our families.

We can each reclaim the self-healing powers inside of us as we heal our loved ones and ourselves with all that nature has to offer.”

– Tieraona Low Dog, M.D.

Herbal and Natural Treatments for Your Family

In Healthy at Home, Tieraona Low Dog, MD shows how integrated remedies such as herbs and simple home practices can treat many ailments — with the added benefit of no doctor bills. Sometimes a prescription drug is not the right medicine for getting well. Herbal and natural treatments are gaining traction as new research shows that the inappropriate use of drugs, such as antibiotics, are threatening our health.

Antibiotic Free Healing

Dr. Low Dog guides readers in identifying, responding to and caring for the most common ailments for the whole family.
Combining her herbal wisdom with her talents as a family physician, massage therapist and midwife to teach, Dr. Low Dog uses easy-to-understand terms, how using natural remedies can reduce dependency on pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications, which in some cases may not be as safe or effective as we think. At the same time Dr. Low Dog, an integrative physician, recognizes that there are times when people must turn toward allopathic medicine in search of a solution to their health issue. She clearly points out warning signs that let you know when more than self-care is necessary.
