New in wellness: VERIDITAS BOTANICALS !
We brought in a new line of essential oils at the Co-op! Veriditas Botanicals is an amazing company that works with small, family-based distillers.
The company was founded by Melissa Farris, herbalist and aromatherapist, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The therapeutic blends are very powerful and healing.
The Veriditas website is full of useful information on essential oils. Using Essential Oils to further healing dates back thousands of years. This tradition was found in many different cultures around the world. Think of how powerful the sense of smell is! Ways to use Essential Oils:
- Drops in bath
- Drops in spray bottle to purify air
- Drops on mold or mildew in basements
- Drops in body oil for massage or skin conditioning
- Deodorant
- Healing blends for skin or health issues
- And Many More…
We have some great books in the Co-op on aromatherapy and using essential oils, check them out. Remember that most “fragrances” are synthetic and may have harsh solvents involved in the distilling process. Veriditas Botanicals essential oils are distilled purely, with no solvents or synthetics added. Especially for healing, the quality of the oil makes a huge difference. Essential Oils can be part of a regimen of health!
More news from Wellness: our Private Label Viroqua Food Co-op Supplements are getting a face-lift. Our new label comes out sometime in September. For awhile we will have both labels on the shelf, but the supplements are the same high quality.
Some of the products I have that are not big sellers have been moved out. If these are products that you still want, just special order them! If you are not sure how to do a special order, just ask any staff member. Anyone can special order, you do not have to be a member. Enjoy Fall!
