I want every woman to understand that you deserve to feel better. You deserve to be healthy. - Dr. Sharon Malone
Throughout my adult life, I have struggled with chronic pain stemming from various conditions, including menstruation, osteoarthritis and more. My experiences with local general drs & specialists found little comfort, labeled as hysterical, dismissive doctors, expensive scans, tests, specialists and costly medication.
In my 40's I had five surgeries. During recovery, I discovered that medications were not only ineffective for my pain but also posed serious health risks from the side effects.
The severe adverse reactions resulted in multiple emergency room visits which extended my recovery time and weakened my body.
To manage my chronic pain while minimizing the long-term health risks associated with over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and acetaminophen—specifically regarding liver, kidney, and bone health—I tried eastern medicine and natural alternatives.
My last few surgeries I used plant-based tinctures and healing creams. The healing I felt sparked my interest in the study of plant-based medicine. Searching my own library, I uncovered long forgotten recipes my grandmother created. To my surprise many of her recipes were spot on.
When perimenopause symptoms started, I began researching plants and botanical benefits for hot flashes, hormonal changes and more. After years of study, research and testing, I developed plant-based recipes for targeted support. Consulting with Herbalists and Estheticians has led to the creation of a soothing and nourishing line of skincare.
It is my goal that others find relief from my apothecary.
