open care community apothecary
Please feel free to browse our carefully selected apothecary. We only stock products that we use and love - and we hope you'll love them too. Herbal medicine does not break the body down into separate systems, so there's a lot of overlap in our categories. If you have any questions about any products, please feel free to ask our staff or to browse our catalog for full descriptions of our products.
Most of our products are "over the counter" but some are prescription. Our "over the counter" herbal products are great for when you need immediate results, occasionally - for example, pain balm for mild muscle tension, or cramp back for mild period cramps.
If you are interested in our prescription herbs, please schedule a consultation with our herbalist. Our Chinese prescription formulas might be a better option if you have chronic or complex symptoms, or if other methods have not alleviated your symptoms. The efficacy of the Chinese prescription formulas depends on your ability to commit to taking the formula regularly, as either an herbal tea or a capsule, for several weeks or months. Consistency is key with herbs and the results speak for themselves!
Scheduling a consultation with our herbalist is also helpful if you'd like dietary suggestions or simply want to know more about your body/patterns according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
