Nature's Touch to Wellness
About Us
Our Story
Buddy's Apothecary was inspired by the love for nature, lavender and roses. Nature is therapeutic and essential to our mental well-being. As a nurse, student, and mother, self-care tends to get put aside. However, my love for gardening and the heavenly scents of herbs and flowers, has led me to creating soothing aromatherapy products. I take pride in how I blend my ingredients and I ensure each batch is made to capture the senses and promote well-being. As a nurse, I also believe in the balance of medicine and holistic care for patients to achieve quality of life. Even Florence Nightingale believed in the power of essential oils by using lavender for soldiers in the Crimean War. Indulge your senses!
The Power of Our Sense of Smell
Our sense of smell can have a substantial impact on our well-being. Essential oils and certain blends react with our limbic system to promote a sense of comfort, relaxation, a soothing effect, or an uplifting refreshing sense. Throughout our lives we at times encounter a certain scent that brings back memories of childhood, holidays, seasons, etc. Through essential oils and aromatherapy, we can provide our bodies a natural resource to release the neurochemicals in our brain that promotes these sensations.
Intervention the Natural Way
Over the years I have come to realize more and more the importance of natural, healthy care for my skin and mental clarity. My goal is to promote naturally beneficial products for mental wellness and promote products that provide antioxidant benefits. Essential oils can provide many benefits and can help offset symptoms of illness. My products are hand made and used with certified organic based products and then blended with natural essential oils that are known for their anti-aging benefits. Aromatherapy has had its impact through the ages of time and continues to spread in popularity as more people want to revert to a more natural way of well-being.
