☕️ Warm Up with CBD Turmeric & Ginger Tea

There’s something about a warm mug in your hands that just resets the day.

Now imagine that mug packed with turmeric + ginger + CBD. 🙌

This CBD Turmeric & Ginger Tea by Buddha Teas is crafted with two powerhouse herbs to support the entire body — plus CBD for an added layer of calm.

Why we like it:

🌿 Turmeric – Traditionally used to support a healthy inflammatory response
🌿 Ginger – Comforts digestion and warms from the inside out
🌿 CBD – Supports relaxation and overall balance

Perfect for:
-Achy, stiff days
-Stress-heavy afternoons
-Post-workout recovery
-Wind-down time before bed

It’s smooth, earthy, gently spicy — and feels like self-care in a cup.

If you’re looking for a simple daily ritual that supports your whole body (without adding another capsule to your lineup), this might be your new favorite.

Stop in to Modern Apothecary and grab a box while they’re in stock.

Your mug deserves an upgrade. 😊

💋 Let’s Talk About Those Crusty, Chapped Lips…

Cold air. Wind. Indoor heat. Lip licking (we see you 👀).

If your lips feel like sandpaper, here’s your quick rescue plan:

👄 Step 1: Stop the licking

It feels helpful. It’s not. It actually makes things worse.

💧 Step 2: Hydrate inside & out

Water matters. So does a balm that protects and seals in moisture.

🧴 Step 3: Upgrade your lip balm

We’ve stocked options for every personality:
🌿 Hurraw! – Vegan, clean ingredients, tons of flavors
🌱 Weleda Skin Food Lip Butter – Rich plant-based hydration
🌎 Dr. Bronner’s Organic Lip Balm – Simple, effective, organic
🌼 Perennial Soaps Lip Balm – Handcrafted, vegan, palm-oil free
💪 Duke Cannon SPF Lip Balm – Bigger size + SPF 30 for serious protection

Tinted? Unscented? Spearmint? “Offensively large”? We don’t judge. 😂

🚨 When to ask us:
-Cracking at the corners
-Ongoing peeling
-Burning or irritation
-Nothing seems to work

Sometimes chapped lips are more than dry air.

Stop suffering in silence.
Come see us at Modern Apothecary and let’s get your lips back in business. 😊

🎁 The Gift Bag That Steals the Show

Let’s be honest… sometimes the packaging is the gift. 😍

These beautiful gift bags just arrived and we are officially obsessed.

🌿 Botanical prints
🍄 Moody woodland mushrooms
🎀 Rich ribbon handles
✨ Thick, high-quality paper (no sad floppy bags here)

They’re the kind of bags that make someone say,
“Wait… where did you get this?”

Perfect for:

Wellness bundles

Supplement starter kits

Tea + journal gifts

Birthday, thank you, or “just because” moments

Add tissue paper and suddenly you look like you planned this weeks in advance. 😉

Available at Modern Apothecary — because even your gift bags should feel intentional.

Compounding ASMR: Capsule Making with Pink Noise

02/20/2026

At Modern Apothecary, compounding isn’t an add-on… it’s part of who we are.

We create custom medications when the standard option just doesn’t work - for people and pets. 🐾

We can:
-Adjust strengths for precise dosing
-Remove dyes, fillers, or allergens
-Convert pills to creams or liquids
-Prepare customized hormone & thyroid formulations
-Create topical pain solutions
-Flavor medications for easier pet dosing

And because we’re pharmacy nerds in the best way…

🎥 We made a capsule-making video set to pink noise — the kind of sound that can help with focus, relaxation, and even better sleep.

So if you’ve ever wondered what precision, care, and tiny capsules sound like… you’re about to find out. 😉

Whether you need a customized medication or just a strangely satisfying video break, we’ve got you covered.

📍 Modern Apothecary | Kenosha
Personalized care — down to the capsule.

💨❤️ LOVE YOUR GUTS: Let’s Talk Bloating

If you look 5 months pregnant after dinner…
That’s not “just getting older.”

Daily bloating is common. It is NOT normal.

Your gut might be saying:
🚩 “I need better digestion.”
🚩 “Slow down when you eat.”
🚩 “We need enzyme support.”
🚩 “Something’s off with the microbiome.”

And no… cutting out 47 foods forever isn’t the answer.

Sometimes the fix is simple:
🍽️ Chew your food (revolutionary, I know)
🚶‍♀️ Take a short walk after meals
🧂 Support stomach acid
🧪 Add the right digestive enzymes
🦠 Balance gut bacteria

The goal isn’t restriction. It’s relief.

You deserve to:
-Button your jeans comfortably
-Eat without fear
-Not plan your life around your stomach
-If bloating is your normal, let’s change that 💚

Stop in. Ask questions. We love gut conversations.
(Yes, even the awkward ones 😉)

🕰️ Way Back Wednesday: Vapo-Cresolene 🕰️

Today’s throwback is a true piece of early-1900s pharmacy history: Vapo-Cresolene.

This product used a lamp-style vaporizer that heated a coal-tar derivative called cresol (cresolene) over a small kerosene flame, releasing fumes into the room. It was heavily marketed for whooping cough, croup, bronchitis, asthma, hay fever, and just about anything involving breathing 😮‍💨

At the time, it was promoted as a medical breakthrough. Later medical reviews pointed out that it was essentially cresol with big marketing claims, and improper use—especially in poorly ventilated rooms—could be harmful.

A great reminder of how far pharmacy has come, and why science, safety, and regulation matter 💛

Still… the packaging is pretty cool.

🥦🎉 Happy National Cauliflower AND Cabbage Day! 🎉🥬

Did we know this was a thing? No.

Are we celebrating anyway? Absolutely.

Is it related to pharmacy? Not even a little.

But here we are.

Cauliflower = versatile.
Cabbage = underrated.
Modern Apothecary = also versatile and underrated. Coincidence? We think not.

And since we don’t currently sell cruciferous vegetables next to the cough syrup… please enjoy this completely unrelated photo of our Kenosha Beach Glass bracelets instead 💙🌊

Because:
-They’re local
-They’re beautiful
-And they photograph way better than cabbage

If you’d like to celebrate properly:
✔️ Eat something green
✔️ Take your vitamins
✔️ Wear a bracelet that looks like Lake Michigan on your wrist

You’re welcome for this important public service announcement. 😉

🧠❤️ Love Your Guts, Support Your Nervous System

Your gut and brain are constantly talking. Stress can:
-Slow digestion
-Increase bloating
-Change the microbiome

Simple supports:
-Slower meals
-Gentle movement
-Breathwork

🌿 Some people also benefit from calming nutrients or adaptogens to support the gut–brain axis.

We can help guide you—no “just relax” advice here 😉
