The State of Naturopathic Medicine
The past 30 years has seen an extraordinary increase in consumer demand for safe, effective, and cost effective natural healthcare. Naturopathic medicine has emerged as the health care profession best suited to meet this demand, although it almost disappeared in the mid-twentieth century because of the popularity of drugs and surgery, naturopathic medicine now offers safe effective natural therapies as a vital part of the health care systems of North America in the twenty-first century.
Naturopathic physicians are trained in the art and science of natural healthcare at accredited medical colleges. Integrative partnerships between conventional MDs and licensed NDs are becoming more available. This cooperation makes more effective therapies available to consumers. It increase patient satisfaction in their relationships with their care providers. More people are restoring their health by adding naturopathic medicine to their healthcare options. Naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine that assists in healing the whole person. Within nature there’s and inner wisdom that balances the individual.

The Integrated Health Center was founded by Dr. Pram because of her lifelong desire
to share the benefits of a natural lifestyle with others.
Currently licensed to practice in Connecticut, Arizona and Hawaii. Some of her accomplishments include:
- Starting the first Homeopathic study group, the Connecticut Homeopathic Association, in 1985
- Starting the Naturopathic residency program at Griffin Hospital in 1998
- Facilitating the first online botanical medical program under the auspices of Quinnipiac College in 2001
- Serving as President of the Connecticut Society of Naturopathic Physicians in 2001
Dr. Pram enjoys relating how her passion to help others through the science of naturopathy began…
“My introduction to natural medicine was through my mother who always took me to the local homeopathic physician for all my childhood illnesses. Growing up in India I was enveloped with the Ayurvedic traditions passed down through several generations.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Bombay Homeopathic Medical College in 1965, then served as the Chief Resident of the Government Homeopathic Medical Hospital in Bombay. In 1967, I immigrated to the USA. I received my Physician’s Assistant certification in 1977 from Rutgers University and worked as a PA for many years in the UK and Connecticut. In 1990, I graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon.
It is my fervent wish to see naturopathy and a natural lifestyle become part of our way of life. With this in mind, I have collaborated with Park City Primary Care Center to see under-served patients at their center.
I love my work and helping my patients achieve a state of wellness they never before thought possible. In addition, I enjoy gardening, dancing and traveling. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.”
