I love this cream.

It has saved me from having to take endless amounts of pills (mostly Advil) to help ease cramps during my period. There is something so soothing to take a minute and apply it to my stomach and lower back - it’s allows me to pause and breathe.

Made in Canada and packed with simple active ingredients like Wintergreen, Camphor Bark, Arnica Flower and Castor Oil, it targets pain and eases inflammation. Apply anywhere that is feeling sore or inflamed for relief for up to 3 hours, and reapply when needed.

It’s not just for period cramps either, but can be used anytime you feel tension in your body.

Fell free to come in and ask questions about it if you’re curious!

Happy 8 years to you, Nicole and all the The Plum Tree Gift Shoppe gang!

8 whole years as owner of The Plum Tree Gift Shoppe! Ummm how did that happen?!?! It’s been quite the journey, but I wouldn’t change a thing (well that’s not entirely true I would change a few things) I have been extremely fortunate to have met so many amazing people along the way and work with some pretty amazing people too. Huge thank you to everyone who shops with us, drops by for a browse and a chat. We see you and we appreciate you. Because of you we are able to celebrate another year in business. Here’s to many more at 225 Main Street ❤️

Measles cases are on the rise across the world, including Canada. Before travelling, make sure you and your family are fully vaccinated.

Anyone born in or after 1970 is eligible for two doses of measles vaccine. Typically, these are given as part of your routine childhood vaccines. You can still get them for free if you didn’t get them as a child.

Adults born before 1970 usually don’t need a measles vaccine because of past immunity. However, you can get a single dose for free if you travel to a place where there are many cases of measles.

Facts about measles:

- Measles is a viral infection that spreads easily and quickly among people who have no protection. It can lead to severe complications.
- It can be prevented by a vaccine (free for eligible Nova Scotians).
- The vaccine also prevents against mumps and rubella.
- Unvaccinated young children and pregnant people are at highest risk of severe complications.
- Protection against measles, mumps and rubella is especially important for people planning to travel.

What should you do?

- Check your immunization records by downloading the YourHealthNS app or visiting https://vaxrecordns.nshealth.ca/.
- Check to see if you’re eligible for the measles vaccine: www.nshealth.ca/measles
- Contact your local Public Health Office - www.nshealth.ca/public-health
- Find a mobile vaccine clinic in your area – www.nshealth.ca/PHMU
- Contact your primary healthcare provider.
- Contact your local pharmacy. Please call head to make sure the vaccine is available at that location before you visit.

Vaccines work. Make sure yours are up to date.

❤️ You won't find a Made in Canada section here - simply because you’ll be hard-pressed to find the handful of products NOT made in Canada.

❤️ From traditional indigenous skincare made in Unama’ki to shampoos made on Vancouver Island, our front store is a celebration of Canadian makers.

❤️ It is an intentionally curated selection of goods that prioritizes small, independent producers from coast to coast. It’s been our focus since Day 1, and will remain our focus until the end.

❤️ If you’re new to us, come visit and see for yourself.

An important reminder: We cannot assess or prescribe for chest infections through our clinic.

When you are booking online, it is not listed as a bookable service because it is not something that can be offered within the scope of the clinic. We have an unfortunate amount of people booking in for a random service (ie. strep throat) only to then tell clinic staff that they are there because of their chest.

If you are looking to be seen for a chest infection, please contact your primary physician, visit a local emergency room, or register through Virtual Care NS https://www.nshealth.ca/clinics-programs-and-services/virtualcarens

👑 Here she is - making 50, fabulous! That’s right, the one and only, Susan Peddle is celebrating a very special birthday today so if you’re around the pharmacy this week, make sure to give her big birthday wishes!

🩷 Susan, on top of being an amazing pharmacist who cares about the community around you, you have a knack for making people laugh, rapid-fire comebacks, and the ability to make the day brighter for those who cross your path.

🌼 May the year ahead be filled with special moments and time with the people you love.

~ Lots of love from all of us at the Apothecary!

The Apothecary is walking in this year's 'Coldest Night of Year' fundraiser, in support of the Naomi Society.

The funds raised from this event will go towards creating a new facility for women and children fleeing violence, including additional second-stage housing units. The project will allow the Naomi Society to increase their impact in promoting anti-violence work, and caring for those impacted by violence.

If you can, get involved! We encourage you to captain a team - gather some friends, collect some pledges and walk. If you can't make it, consider donating. A link to our donation page is below: https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?teamID=1027780&langPref=en-CA

Although we missed the opportunity to get a photo of her in action, we can't go without a public thank-you to Grade 12 student, Katie Sponagle! She spent the last two weeks in the dispensary with our pharmacy team learning the ins + outs of as part of her O2 placement at Dr. John Hugh Gillis Regional High School. While her time was short, she played an integral role on our ever-growing, busy team. Thank you, Katie for all of your help while you were here. We miss you already!
