New Product: Sinus Survival Herbal Nasal Spray

December 31st, 2013 by Paula Gallagher

For years, Dr. Ivker has tested and reformulated his Sinus Survival Herbal Nasal Spray to provide a soothing botanical product to moisturize the nose and provide relief for dry, irritated sinuses. The Sinus Survival program is continually updated to incorporate the most recent research and discovery. We’re excited to introduce the latest development in a new spray formulation and a new delivery system.

We’ve added Himalayan salt, which, in addition to providing 100% of all the minerals needed by the body, has also been shown to be an effective agent for the mucus membrane to relieve inflammation. The botanical herbal spray continues to contain saline, aloe vera and berberis aquifolium to soothe the sinuses.  Continue reading “New Product: Sinus Survival Herbal Nasal Spray”

Thank You!

November 26th, 2013 by Paula Gallagher

We are so appreciative of all of our customers, from those who have been with us since the beginning (over 45 years), to those who have just discovered us through our blog or our website, or from a friend. Times have changed since The Apothecary opened its doors, but one thing has remained constant… wonderful customers.

Personally, I am grateful for all the wonderful people who have worked at Village Green Apothecary. Caring, thoughtful people who strive to deliver quality service to everyone who walks in the door, calls on the phone or visits our website. I am thankful to work with such a great bunch.

I came across this blog from last year about gratitude. It is a great reminder that small gestures can make a big difference!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Small Business Saturday: November 30

November 25th, 2013 by Paula Gallagher

The fourth annual Small Business Saturday is on November 30. It is a  day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country.

Here are some stats about small businesses:

Did you know that for every $100 spent in a local business, 68% of that stays in the community? How about, small businesses employ half of all private sector employees, or that for every year over the last decade, 60% to 80% of new jobs were generated by small businesses?

Make the most of this Small Business Saturday –  a day to come together in support of small businesses like Village Green Apothecary. Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities and local economies.
