Organic Chamomile with Lavender
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
High quality goods, well-informed friendly staff, reasonable pricing and regular discounts. Feels old school and good to have a small shop that's so well stocked.
I have been ordering from Village Green Apothecary for years and can’t say enough about the staff’s expertise and all they have available for customers in guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Louis & Tatiana for their guidance, help & support for years. I am forever grateful! I also want to thank Brian, Kirsten, Kayla & the pharmacist for all their help. Another positive about Village Green is their rewards program, supplement sales which are often and especially their phenomenal semi-annual store wide sales. I have recommended Village Green Apothecary to all those I know!

They're the best!!
Definitely helps
