Sublingual

B-Total Energy

This liquid B12 Complex absorbs super fast under your tongue, giving me that energy boost I need!

Boiron

Oscillococcinum

Any time I feel the hot and cold flashes of the flu approaching, this is the first thing I reach for. Within hours I usually feel 100%!

Dr. Bronner’s

Patchouli Lime

This organic-oil based lotion keeps my skin feeling soft all day! I also love the way it smells! No need for extra perfume!

Badger

Sore Muscle Rub

The mix of healing herbs, such as cayenne, chili, and calendula, makes this product perfect for the day after shoveling, moving furniture or everyday aches and pains. It also smells great, is non-greasy, and warms from the outside in.

Alaffia

Antioxident Face Cream

I love how this cream is light & non oily. It’s great for all skin types! I love the company, Alaffia, which supports community projects in Africa and in the USA!

Kim McDermott has been a member of the Wellness Staff since 2010 as the Health and Beauty Buyer.

Manitoba Harvest

Hemp Pro 50

I add this to yogurt and/or juice to make smoothies. It’s a good source of vegetarian protein and is naturally high in Omega 3’s and 6’s. It’s mild tasting and a good source of fiber too.

Alafia

Coconut Cream

A light, cream with excellent moisturizing ingredients, like coconut oil & cocoa butter. It has a clean, coconut fragrance. Plus, it supports a women’s cooperative in Africa.

Weleda

Skin Food

The ultimate skin cream for dry hands and feet! A heavenly cream that absorbs well and has a great soothing scent. I like to use this on my hands and feet before bed.

Evan Healy

French Rose Clay

A once-a-week facial mask with this clay leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft and rejuvenated. The clay draws out impurities from the skin and detoxifies it. Pampering at its best!
