Verdure Wellness Clinic’s dispensary includes:
Supplements & Herbs
Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fats, herbs and other natural health products offer great benefit in treating a health problem naturally. These vitamins, minerals and health products are supplemental to the diet. At Verdure Wellness Clinic, we believe being minimal and strategic with supplements.
Verdure Wellness Clinic only uses products that have been tested for quality and purity, and have received Health Canada approval.
Professional Line Supplements
Professional line supplements are vitamin and health products which are only available for purchase through a Naturopathic Doctor only. Professional supplements contain high-quality raw materials that are rigorously tested for quality and impurities. Many over-the-counter brands do not make that extra effort.
Additionally, professional brands may use third-party quality-assurance lab testing to verify quality. This is a common practise for professional brands, that again ensure that what you see on the label is what you are actually getting in the bottle.

Tinctures
Medicinal herbs have been used and studied for many years, and have been used to create pharmaceutical drugs, for example: white willow tree – salicylic acid – or aspirin.
Plants are medicinal.
Herbal tinctures are liquid, alcohol extracts of medicinal herbs. During extraction the phytochemicals transfer from the plant into the liquid alcohol, and the medicinal properties of these phytochemicals are preserved. Tinctures are an affordable, and effective way to treat many health problems, and because they are alcohol based they have a long shelf life, and are great for those that do not like capsules.
Customized Tinctures: Verdure Wellness Clinic
What makes us different is that we offer compounded customized herbal tincture remedies for patients – a service that is not found anywhere in KW!
Creating a customized medicinal herb tinctures means clients receive an easy to dose liquid plant formulation, that is unique to the individual’s health conditions. The choice of herbs used in the formulation can address multiple health concerns (Ie. hormone imbalance and digestion), or they can be focussed on just one problem (menopausal hot flashes).
Herbal Teas: Verdure Wellness Clinic
Similarly to tinctures, customized medicinal herb teas are also available to patients, and are often used for sleep, stress, anxiety and digestion, however teas can be used for a wide variety of health conditions. Loose leaf herbal tea is a more palatable option to some who do not enjoy the strong taste of herbal tinctures. Hot water extraction of herbs removes water-soluble phytochemical components, such as volatile essential oils (Peppermint) from the medicinal plants used. Teas are a great option for children and pickier eaters, or those that cannot tolerate capsules or tinctures.
