Frequently Asked Questions
Are your Products Organic?
Whenever possible, our raw goods come from farms and co-ops with certified organic products or cultivated and grown ourselves. There are far too many natural options available to ever need the use of pesticides, especially on small farms under a watchful eye of expert gardeners and herbalists.
Do I still need to see my doctor?
Herbal supplements can interact with conventional medicines and have strong effects. For example, some herbal supplements may interact with heart disease medicines, such as blood thinners like warfarin. Other supplements, like gingko biloba and vitamin E, can thin your blood and increase your risk of internal bleeding or stroke if taken with warfarin. High-dose vitamin C supplements may also reduce the effectiveness of some types of cancer chemotherapy and interfere with statin medications.
Do you deliver?
If you are a local retailer within 35 miles we can arrange in-person delivery so you can avoid shipping charges for orders over $400.
Can I make a request?
Absolutely!! Send us an e-mail with your request or concern and we will try our very best to accommodate! Personalized blends require a purchase of an entire small batch.
How are apothecary blends different from other teas?
Many people prefer a natural, holistic approach to wellness because it does not rely on medications, which can have problematic side effects. People look for alternatives because (1) they are dissatisfied in some way with conventional treatment; (2) they see alternative treatments as offering more personal autonomy and control over health care decisions; and (3) the alternatives are seen as more compatible with the patients' values, worldview, or beliefs regarding the nature and meaning of health and illness.
