Apothecary sounds Posh but for the best in Holistic Health remember the Name!

Pharmacies of one kind or another have existed ever since the first caveman sneezed and needed a remedy! Today they dispense drugs we think we need and probably plenty we don’t!

The ancient Greeks called their stockists of herbal potions and remedies based mostly on natural products rather than man-made chemical substances, apothecaries. Down the ages, an apothecary became a more professional occupation and, surprise surprise, became more regulated. 

I suppose the clientele in Middle Ages England as well as the regulators of the time were becoming a little more discerning. After Victorian times the term apothecary largely slipped from use to be replaced by the one-size-fits-all chemist, as we used to say in the old country and pharmacies of today’s modern Australia.

But the term is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance Down Under as it is increasingly being used to describe firms and organisations who are providing treatments based more on plants than chemicals per se. They might focus on integrating traditional knowledge with contemporary science, emphasising personalised care and natural healing methods.

On the whole subject of ethical, holistic and modern-day remedies that could do wonders for your health Ikkari is a name you should remember. They are billed as Australia’s favourite apothecary. Using that old name has a nice ring and kind of connects the past to the present in a cool way. 

Founded by Adrian Norris and drawing inspiration from the Greek island of Ikaria, appropriately enough, their philosophy goes beyond the bounds of beauty and wellness. Holistic is a term bandied about these days but the firm is concerned with treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms. The world is currently riding a wave of health, with fitness and mental well-being the goal. 

Their products, formulated with proven high-performance active ingredients from the Earth like turmeric, adaptogens (herbs, roots and plants like mushrooms), natural collagens and probiotics, provide an alternative to pharmaceuticals for people looking for a modern-day apothecary. 

Contact them today and discover what an “apothecary” can do for your health and well-being…and some. At a time when the so-called Big Pharma has a lot to answer for, seeking a more natural way to resolve health issues may be just what the doctor ordered…..or didn’t order!
