Julia's apothecary

Julia Greenblatt on the Kimberton Apothecary:

Welcome to Kimberton Whole Foods apothecary department! This section has always been one of my favorite at Kimberton Whole Foods. The apothecary department (consisting of supplements as well as health & beauty products) offers you the opportunity to match your personal health care needs with the most up to date supplements and beauty aids. Much like the grocery and produce departments of the store, the products sold in apothecary can support both your emotional and physical wellbeing.

After consulting with a doctor or specialist about alternative products, ingredients and dosages, come visit the apothecary department.  Our apothecary staff is trained to direct and assist you with product choice. Our empathic and knowledgeable staff enjoys making every effort to help you find the products you are seeking.  If you aren't able to find the product on our shelves, please ask us about special ordering the products for you.

Our apothecary department is broken into sections related to specific ailments and supplements.  For example, if you are interested in a body cleanse, you will go to the cleansing section and find first cleanses, whole body cleanses and individual organ cleanses.  Another benefit to product selection set up this way is that you can compare prices since all relevant products are housed together.

While our apothecary crew enjoys sharing information with customers, it is really you, our customers, that inspire us and influence the quality products we sell.

Julia Recommends:

Coconut is truly a whole food! The clear water inside a young coconut has more potassium than a banana and is wonderful for hydration.  As the coconut matures, the water develops into a milky white meat which can be eaten or pressed for milk and oil.  The health benefits of coconut oil include hair and skin care, weight loss and cholesterol maintenance (please visit the following website for more information: www.coconutoil.com).

There are several brands of organic virgin coconut oil available in the apothecary. Most are solid oil and can be consumed, or warmed to a liquid and used for skin and hair. Coconut oil is also available in capsules.

As you walk around the apothecary departments at any of our store locations, check our shelves for products marked as STAFF FAVORITES. We try the products we sell and are happy to share with you what we like about our favorites.
