A L I S O N ‘ S • A P O T H E C A R Y
Including Healthy/Artisanal Foods; Traditional Remedies; Healing Products and Services Directory
This guide is based on the experience by the author, Alison D. Gilbert, of the great majority of the following products and services applied over almost the last half century.
These products and services are available through a variety of venues for convenient purchase. Some are:
• available online • at retail locations • deliverable to your home • at farmers markets in season
As an investigative journalist, the author gladly shares what she finds to be beneficial (as well as often pleasant) in the areas of natural remedies, artisanal foods, and green services in use personally by the author.
Therefore the goal of this directory is to make these retail products familiar as well as more available to consumers everywhere and the services known in the NYC/LI area. In addition, these products and services are part of what the author has found to be effective natural healing resources, foods that can offer positive health, tasty and healing qualities, as well as healthy options and green services. More resources are constantly being added to this directory. So please visit often.
Please note that since the author is not a health practitioner, lists the enclosed as personal health care options, and can therefore make no official medical claims to the efficacy of any products or services in this directory. It is the consumer’s responsibility to become an educated consumer, to explore new products, try new foods, and contact a health care professional first to make certain that there are no allergies or contraindications to any products or service listed here.
