3 Simple Ways to Support Your Gut Naturally 🌿

Body:
1️⃣ Eat 1 serving of fermented foods every day (like yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut)
2️⃣ Stay hydrated — your gut lining needs water to function properly
3️⃣ Relax before eating — stress shuts down digestion!

Better gut = better mood, energy, and immunity.

If your week was full of coffee, stress, and on-the-go meals… your gut’s probably asking for a reset.

This weekend, try:
🥣 A high-fiber breakfast
🧘‍♀️ A slow walk after dinner
💧 Extra water and less sugar

Sometimes wellness is about simple balance. Your gut will thank you for it.

💛 Soothe. Repair. Protect.

Your gut lining is your body’s first line of defense, and when it’s inflamed or stressed, your immune system feels it.

✨ GlutaShield from Ortho Molecular helps support and repair the intestinal barrier using:
🌿 L-Glutamine – fuels intestinal cells
🍃 Aloe vera + Deglycyrrhizinated licorice – calm irritation
🦠 Antioxidants + nutrients – reinforce gut lining integrity

Great for anyone dealing with:
-Occasional bloating or digestive discomfort
-High stress or poor diet
-Immune imbalance or chronic inflammation

💡 Take daily for 2–4 weeks as a gut “reset” or longer for maintenance.

Did you know one of our favorite antique remedies is still on our shelves today? 🌿

👉 Cajeput Oil – a cousin of eucalyptus – has been used for centuries, and it’s still a go-to essential oil for:
-Supporting clear breathing 👃
-Soothing tired muscles 💪
-Adding a refreshing, minty kick to chest rubs & salves

💡 Its active ingredient, cineole, is the same compound that gives eucalyptus its familiar scent and cooling power.

✅ Available now at Modern Apothecary!

Stop by and ask us how to use it safely in your wellness routine.

Did you know your gut microbiome trains your immune system every single day? 🧬

When your gut bacteria are happy, your immune cells stay balanced.
When they’re stressed (hello sugar, stress, and lack of sleep), inflammation rises.

Small fixes = big wins.
Start simple: more plants 🌿, less sugar 🍭, daily movement 🏃‍♀️

💡 Did you know 70% of your immune system lives in your gut?

When your gut is healthy, your immune cells get the right training every single day.
When it’s not, your defenses can’t keep up.

✅ Eat more fiber (veggies, oats, beans)
✅ Add fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, kefir)
✅ Stay hydrated 💧

Your gut health = your immune strength 💪

Before Vicks VapoRub or essential oil diffusers, there was Cajeput Oil. 🌿

This bottle, from Milwaukee Drug Co., dates to the early 1900s and was labeled as “Strictly Pure.”

👃 What was it used for back then?
Cajeput oil (from the cajeput tree, a cousin of eucalyptus) was a go-to remedy for:
-Coughs & colds (inhaled or rubbed on the chest)
-Muscle aches & joint pain (applied externally)
-Toothaches & sore throats (sometimes diluted and used carefully)

✨ Here’s the cool part: we still carry Cajeput Oil today!
It remains a popular essential oil, often used for:
-Aromatherapy to support clear breathing
-Topical use in massage oils for soothing sore muscles
-Blended into natural chest rubs and salves

💡 Fun fact: Its main component, cineole, is also found in eucalyptus and gives cajeput that strong, minty aroma.

We’ll be featuring one of our antique pharmacy treasures each week for Way Back Wednesday—a reminder that some remedies truly stand the test of time.

👉 Have you ever tried cajeput oil for congestion or muscle relief?

🍝 Happy National Pasta Day!

Let’s talk about enjoying your pasta without the blood sugar rollercoaster 🎢

Carbohydrates aren’t the enemy, but how you eat them can make all the difference for energy and metabolism.

Here are a few easy ways to slow carbohydrate absorption and keep blood sugar steadier:

🥗 Add fiber first: Start your meal with a salad, roasted veggies, or legumes. Fiber slows glucose absorption and supports gut health.

🧈 Add fat + protein: Olive oil, nuts, cheese, or chicken tossed into your pasta help balance the carb load.

🧄 Cool it down: Letting pasta cool before eating increases resistant starch, which acts more like fiber than sugar in your body. (Think pasta salad!)

🥬 Go halfsies: Mix regular pasta with zucchini noodles, lentil pasta, or chickpea pasta for more protein and fiber.

🧃 Pair with vinegar: A splash of balsamic or apple cider vinegar before or during the meal can blunt post-meal glucose spikes.

✨ Bonus tip: A short 10-minute walk after eating helps your muscles use glucose for fuel instead of letting it linger in the bloodstream.

So yes , you can have your pasta and eat it too... just build your plate (and pace) with balance in mind.
