September 11, 2008 PM Interview with Dr. Astrid Pujari

Dr. Astrid Pujari, founder of The Pujari Center in Seattle, WA has pursued the integration of Western and Holistic medicine for the past 15 years. Her passion for integrative medicine arose from the belief that no single healing method can meet the health needs of all patients. Instead, each patient must be considered in their entirety and offered the healing options that are most appropriate for their personal, physical and spiritual circumstances. During residency training in Internal Medicine at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, she pursued integrative medicine training to complement the rigorous internal medicine training. She also pursued a formal degree in herbal medicine from the prestigious college of Phototherapy in London England. After four years of rigorous academic and clinical training, she was awarded a Diplomate in Phototherapy and credentialed by the National Institute of Medical herbalists in Europe, the premier credentialing body for herbalists in Europe.
