Curing What Ails You

The Apothecary Garden

Depending on what time of the day (or month) it is — and whether you’ve had your morning coffee — your mood ranges from totally calm to stark raving nutcase.

When the latter occurs, wouldn’t it be nice to have an herbal remedy to cure what ails you? (One, that is, that’s legal?)

Take your frazzled nerves, PMS, anxiety, and general battiness to The Apothecary Garden. There, you’ll consult with someone who won’t give you some scary diagnosis but will give you a soothing herbal tincture that you can mix with tea, water, or take alone. You can also get custom-blended teas based on your symptoms.

If you’re blessedly symptom free (liar), just stop by the quaint Chestnut Hill shop for Bee House teapots, Octavia teas, and Sensuous Beauty balms and lotions. You’ll be riding the mellow train all day.

Which is way, way better than the rollercoaster you’re on now.
