Parent Tested Parent Approved
      There is no better recommendation than the compliments we receive from parents who use our products. That’s why we couldn't be more excited that the parent testers from Parent Tested Parent Approved(PTPA) have awarded our Calendula Diaper Care their seal of approval!  The PTPA testers tried out the Calendula Diaper Care over the course of a few days in their homes on their babies and evaluated the cream’s effectiveness. With this seal, you know that other moms and dads have tried it, loved it and suggested it to their friends.  In fact, we loved seeing some of the great feedback the parents...

Give Seasonal Allergies the Sneeze...Naturally!
Finally, spring is here! Daffodils and crocuses are showing off their colors, and everyone is glad that winter is behind us. Well, almost everyone. Those with seasonal allergies are perhaps not so excited. Inquiries about seasonal allergy relief have started coming in, and I am reminded that in the South, pollen season is well under way. For the most part, the beautiful spring flowers are not the culprits when it comes to causing misery—the pollen from these plants is relatively large and they depend on insects, like bees, for pollination. But trees, like birch (pictured right), maple and alder, have tiny pollen that’s so small they do not...

Spring Detox
  With another snowstorm approaching the North East, it is hard to imagine that spring might be just around the corner. But at our Compounding Pharmacy, the prescriptions for cold and flu remedies seem to be getting fewer, so it looks like we have turned a corner. Plus, the crocuses seem to be readying themselves for an appearance, and daylight savings commences on March 10th – unmistakable signs of spring approaching.   Spring is the season of renewal, and this also applies to our bodies. Traditionally, it is the time for cleansing. Growing up in Germany, this was very much imbedded in the culture, from drinking cleansing teas...

Fight the Flu - Naturally!
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), and quite a bit of media coverage lately, influenza activity is widespread this winter. This particular virus has been reported in at least 47 states in the US and over 11 provinces and territories in Canada. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a public health emergency this past Saturday and many cities are following suit. The height of flu season for the Northeast traditionally occurs in February, so we might still have a little way to go. Patients often report that their initial symptom is either a sore throat or a cough. Some colds can be very severe and hard to differentiate from the...

Prepare Your Skin for Fall - Facial Care
With Labor Day weekend now behind us, Pinterest boards and crafty types alike are looking forward to the coming of fall. As the temperature starts to drop, though, heaters turn on and so begins the season of dry skin. Never fret: we’ve put together a few tips to help keep your beautiful skin happy, hydrated, and nourished all season long. Ensure that your face wash isn’t stripping or drying. That squeaky clean effect may feel great, especially in summer, but it can also strip skin of its natural balance- leaving your skin tight and dry. Try a gentle cleanser that includes moisturizing ingredients like Weleda’s Gentle Cleansing...

Easy Ways to Find Safe Cosmetics
This week’s blog is a guest blog from Sarah Finnie Robinson and our friends over at Practicallygreen.com .  Visit their site to learn more about how you can take simple steps to live a healthy, green lifestyle.  Happy Reading! Feeling parched, chapped, and leathery? You’re not alone. As the weather changes, so does skin. This goes for men, too! Before you moisturize, take a moment to consider what’s in the ointments, creams, and oils you’re slathering on your skin—after all, it is your largest organ. It’s a sad but true fact that the cosmetics we use daily can, and often do, contain chemicals that are...
