Dr. Ilze Ģērmane
Dr. Ilze Ģērmane grew up in a family of two doctors. Maintaining health and joy through the power of nature has been second nature to her since childhood. From the age of nine, Ilze accompanied her father, Dr. Tereško, to the meadows. As they gathered medicinal plants, they would spend time discussing their effects and potency—a practice they continue to this day. Now, Ilze not only learns from her father but can also teach him in return, and together they lead training sessions for others. During her medical studies, Ilze began traveling with her mother, a homeopathic doctor, to masterclasses at the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy in Greece.
It was only natural—seeing how many ailments can be gently and sustainably treated with phytotherapy and homeopathy—that this path was the one Ilze chose after finishing her medical studies. In situations where conventional medicine might suggest overly aggressive interventions or medications causing unwanted side effects, homeopathy can offer gentle treatments instead. As a doctor, the choice seemed logical to Ilze. Her mission is to treat, to foster recovery, to do no harm, and to prevent what can be prevented through proper care and prophylaxis.
Ilze not only accepts patients for consultations, but also produces nutritional supplements and natural remedies for human health and well-being.
She firmly believes that everyone should feel good and energetic, enthusiastic, and joyful. That is our natural, fundamental state. And if someone doesn’t feel that way, we have meadows full of plants ready to support us.

“My mission as a doctor is to help and heal without harming health. Since childhood, I have been part of the world of medicinal plants with my father and have learned about homeopathy from my mother. Studying medicine at university—and continuing to learn ever since—has been crucial for broadening my expertise, so I can recognize which rules must be followed and which can be redefined. Through learning and later teaching yoga, I have discovered the immense importance of movement. By combining everything I have learned and experienced during my 14 years of medical practice, I see how many issues can be resolved with plants, homeopathy, and movement. In my work, I devote special attention to women’s hormonal health, libido, and emotional balance, replacing many radical treatment methods with gentle yet effective and lasting approaches. I want to show my patients that nature and our bodies are always on our side—we simply need to find the right plant and the right approach.”
